Presence and the Imposter Voice

Many leaders worry about imposter syndrome, but the deeper challenge is how it robs us of presence - which is the most valuable thing a leader can bring into any room. In this talk, Executive Coach Nick Gould explores how inner voices like the critic and the imposter steal our attention, why they show up most at moments of growth, and how to build simple habits that restore presence. You’ll leave with practical tools to stop undercutting yourself, redirect your focus, and show up with the steadiness and clarity your team needs most.
