>> Leila Ainge: Welcome to Psychologically speaking with

2

00:00:05,380 --> 00:00:07,230

me, Leila Ainge.

3

00:00:07,890 --> 00:00:10,510

This is a podcast all about human

4

00:00:10,580 --> 00:00:13,290

behaviour, weaving together fascinating

5

00:00:13,370 --> 00:00:15,502

research, opinions and real life

6

00:00:15,556 --> 00:00:17,774

experiences. I'm going to give you a

7

00:00:17,812 --> 00:00:20,686

psychologist's insight into how we behave in the

8

00:00:20,708 --> 00:00:23,646

spaces we live and work in, and how they

9

00:00:23,748 --> 00:00:25,640

in turn shape up us.

10

00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:29,846

I'm a psychologist and coach with an interest

11

00:00:29,948 --> 00:00:32,470

in human connection. My current

12

00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:35,314

research looks at networking, engagement

13

00:00:35,362 --> 00:00:38,046

styles, and the mindsets of entrepreneurs,

14

00:00:38,178 --> 00:00:40,566

especially in online spaces.

15

00:00:40,758 --> 00:00:43,414

Psychologically speaking, I've got a deep

16

00:00:43,462 --> 00:00:46,074

curiosity around the way in which we use our

17

00:00:46,112 --> 00:00:49,082

personal and professional resources to get ahead

18

00:00:49,136 --> 00:00:50,640

and get things done.

19

00:00:52,930 --> 00:00:55,434

This very first series of psychologically

20

00:00:55,482 --> 00:00:58,158

speaking dives straight into my research

21

00:00:58,244 --> 00:01:01,054

on impostor phenomenon. Why do we

22

00:01:01,092 --> 00:01:03,826

feel like an impostor sometimes? What's the

23

00:01:03,848 --> 00:01:06,606

experience like for different people? And we'll

24

00:01:06,638 --> 00:01:09,214

discover the facts, fiction, and situational

25

00:01:09,262 --> 00:01:12,254

nuances of feeling like a fraud. You'll

26

00:01:12,302 --> 00:01:15,302

hear from me and special guests on

27

00:01:15,356 --> 00:01:18,150

experiences that invite the impostor feeling into

28

00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:20,710

our businesses, from social media

29

00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:23,126

comparison to fashion, menopause, and

30

00:01:23,148 --> 00:01:26,118

psychological safety I want to change

31

00:01:26,204 --> 00:01:29,130

the way you think about impostor phenomenon.

32

00:01:29,870 --> 00:01:32,580

Perhaps this is the first time you've heard the term,

33

00:01:32,578 --> 00:01:35,122

impostor phenomenon as opposed to Impostor

34

00:01:35,154 --> 00:01:37,558

syndrome, and there's a really key

35

00:01:37,612 --> 00:01:40,378

distinction. I'm on a mission to get us moving

36

00:01:40,432 --> 00:01:43,430

away from a term syndrome that suggests there's

37

00:01:43,478 --> 00:01:46,310

something wrong with us, and we'll get straight

38

00:01:46,358 --> 00:01:48,986

into that. During the first episode,

39

00:01:50,926 --> 00:01:53,742

my impostor research went deep on the

40

00:01:53,764 --> 00:01:56,670

experiences of entrepreneurs. But this

41

00:01:56,708 --> 00:01:59,694

podcast really is for anyone who's ever

42

00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:02,590

wanted the ground to swallow them up whole or

43

00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,150

felt like they've lagged their way into a piece of

44

00:02:05,188 --> 00:02:07,938

work. If you want to understand why those

45

00:02:07,992 --> 00:02:10,930

experiences are happening and how we can use them to

46

00:02:10,968 --> 00:02:13,810

our advantage in our work, then this podcast is

47

00:02:13,848 --> 00:02:15,156

definitely for you.

48

00:02:16,566 --> 00:02:19,222

I can't wait to share my research with you,

49

00:02:19,324 --> 00:02:22,182

especially the ways in which people take impostor and

50

00:02:22,204 --> 00:02:24,918

run with it, and also some of the really

51

00:02:24,972 --> 00:02:27,736

surprising positives of the impostor experience.

52

00:02:28,346 --> 00:02:31,078

Perhaps the talent of getting ahead and getting things

53

00:02:31,132 --> 00:02:34,102

done we so often admire in people have more

54

00:02:34,124 --> 00:02:36,236

to do with impostor than we think.

55

00:02:37,086 --> 00:02:39,846

56

00:02:39,926 --> 00:02:42,378
