Stop Believing Everything You Think

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about the power of our thoughts and why they can feel so convincing in the moment. My guest this week is Kay Tear, a business psychologist, executive coach and author who helps people better understand how their minds work. Kay challenges the way we think about impostor syndrome, resilience and our reactions to change. We explore how our state of mind shapes our experience and why two people can face the same situation and walk away with completely different interpretations. We also discuss what happens when we become consumed by fearful thinking and how we can loosen its grip. Kay shares why noticing our thoughts, creating space for fresh thinking and taking one small action can help us move forward with greater clarity and confidence. About My Guest Most leadership training is boring — and it's aimed at the wrong problem entirely. It teaches skills to people who are already too overwhelmed to take them in, and calls that development.  So Kay Tear built Business Reimagined to work with organisations that want to liberate their people from overwhelm, burnout and disengagement. They want to create an exceptional employee experience with unique yet proven approaches that redefine development and wellbeing.  A Business Psychologist for over 20 years and an executive coach, Kay helps leaders learn about the human operating system — not behaviour, not competencies, but the inner world actually running the show underneath. Her approach is ruthlessly simple by design, because overwhelmed leaders don't need more content, they need less noise.  Kay is the author of Overcome Imposter Syndrome and Overcome Anxious Attachment. ~ Connect with Kay: LinkedIn:   / kaytear   Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Ms-Ka...
