The Five Imposter Identities with Aoife O’Brien

Have you ever felt like a fraud or doubted your accomplishments? In this episode, Kevin welcomes Aoife O’Brien to discuss the often-misunderstood phenomenon of imposter syndrome. Aoife shares research that led her to identify five distinct imposter identities: The Overachiever, The Comparer, The People Pleaser, The Procrastinator, and The Success Fearer, and explains how these behaviors show up and affect individuals and teams. They also talk about how common imposter syndrome is in the workplace, how it can hurt performance and confidence, and how leaders can recognize and support team members who might be struggling. Aoife also introduces her simple ABCDE framework as a practical tool for overcoming imposter thoughts.

Have you ever considered that the key to leadership isn’t just vision, but also preparation? Kevin sits down with Coach Matthew Mitchell to explore the role of preparation in leadership and in building winning teams. Matthew shares his five levels of preparation: casual, cursory, compliant, committed, and constant. He believes leaders need to reach levels 4 and 5, where thorough systems, discipline, and introspection take precedence. Using Coach John Wooden’s approach, he explains that most preparation should focus on your systems, only delving deeply into the competitor’s game when necessary, such as during critical “special situations.” Listen For 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Welcome to the podcast 01:06 About Kevin’s book “Flexible Leadership” 01:33 Guest introduction: Coach Matthew Mitchell 02:27 Overview of Coach Mitchell’s coaching career 03:44 How he got into coaching and writing 06:16 Why return to coaching now? 07:35 Focus of the book: preparation 08:32 Why preparation matters 10:23 Casino analogy: "the house always wins" 13:00 The five levels of preparation 17:01 Where organizations typically fall on the preparation spectrum 18:36 Peyton Manning’s quote on preparation and work ethic 20:19 Attitude and effort: what we can control 22:17 Coaching insights that apply to business 24:22 The importance of identifying your “bread and butter” 25:03 Constant preparation and the power of systems 26:22 Preparing for strategy vs. reacting to the competition 30:27 Special situations in games and business 31:06 The danger of perfectionism vs. pursuit of excellence 32:11 What Coach Mitchell does for fun 33:03 What he’s currently reading 34:39 Where to learn more about Coach Mitchell 35:24 Final thoughts and action steps for listeners 36:34 Closing remarks and next episode teaser Matthew's Story: Matthew Mitchell is the author of Ready to Win: How Great Leaders Succeed Through Preparation.

What is the most important question everyone is silently asking? According to David Horsager, the answer is clear: "Can I trust you?" In this episode, David shares why trust isn't merely a soft skill, but rather an asset that drives leadership, innovation, sales, retention, and more. He explains that a lack of trust represents the biggest cost to organizations and is the true cause behind many issues we typically attribute to communication, leadership, or marketing. Additionally, he introduces his research-backed framework of the 8 Pillars of Trust: clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency. David also offers some tools we can use today to turn trust into results. David's Story: Dr. David Horsager, MA, CSP, CPAE, is the bestselling author of four books, including his latest, Trust Matters More Than Ever. David is CEO of Trust Edge Leadership Institute and a global authority on helping leaders and organizations become the most trusted in their industry.
