>> Leila Ainge: Welcome to Psychologically speaking with
2
:: 
 00:05  
me, Leila Ainge.
3
:: 
 00:07  
This is a podcast all about human
4
:: 
 00:10  
behaviour, weaving together fascinating
5
:: 
 00:13  
research, opinions and real life
6
:: 
 00:15  
experiences. I'm going to give you a
7
:: 
 00:17  
psychologist's insight into how we behave in the
8
:: 
 00:20  
spaces we live and work in, and how they
9
:: 
 00:23  
in turn shape up us.
10
:: 
 00:27  
I'm a psychologist and coach with an interest
11
:: 
 00:29  
in human connection. My current
12
:: 
 00:32  
research looks at networking, engagement
13
:: 
 00:35  
styles, and the mindsets of entrepreneurs,
14
:: 
 00:38  
especially in online spaces.
15
:: 
 00:40  
Psychologically speaking, I've got a deep
16
:: 
 00:43  
curiosity around the way in which we use our
17
:: 
 00:46  
personal and professional resources to get ahead
18
:: 
 00:49  
and get things done.
19
:: 
 00:52  
This very first series of psychologically
20
:: 
 00:55  
speaking dives straight into my research
21
:: 
 00:58  
on impostor phenomenon. Why do we
22
:: 
 01:01  
feel like an impostor sometimes? What's the
23
:: 
 01:03  
experience like for different people? And we'll
24
:: 
 01:06  
discover the facts, fiction, and situational
25
:: 
 01:09  
nuances of feeling like a fraud. You'll
26
:: 
 01:12  
hear from me and special guests on
27
:: 
 01:15  
experiences that invite the impostor feeling into
28
:: 
 01:18  
our businesses, from social media
29
:: 
 01:20  
comparison to fashion, menopause, and
30
:: 
 01:23  
psychological safety I want to change
31
:: 
 01:26  
the way you think about impostor phenomenon.
32
:: 
 01:29  
Perhaps this is the first time you've heard the term,
33
:: 
 01:32  
impostor phenomenon as opposed to Impostor
34
:: 
 01:35  
syndrome, and there's a really key
35
:: 
 01:37  
distinction. I'm on a mission to get us moving
36
:: 
 01:40  
away from a term syndrome that suggests there's
37
:: 
 01:43  
something wrong with us, and we'll get straight
38
:: 
 01:46  
into that. During the first episode,
39
:: 
 01:50  
my impostor research went deep on the
40
:: 
 01:53  
experiences of entrepreneurs. But this
41
:: 
 01:56  
podcast really is for anyone who's ever
42
:: 
 01:59  
wanted the ground to swallow them up whole or
43
:: 
 02:02  
felt like they've lagged their way into a piece of
44
:: 
 02:05  
work. If you want to understand why those
45
:: 
 02:07  
experiences are happening and how we can use them to
46
:: 
 02:10  
our advantage in our work, then this podcast is
47
:: 
 02:13  
definitely for you.
48
:: 
 02:16  
I can't wait to share my research with you,
49
:: 
 02:19  
especially the ways in which people take impostor and
50
:: 
 02:22  
run with it, and also some of the really
51
:: 
 02:24  
surprising positives of the impostor experience.
52
:: 
 02:28  
Perhaps the talent of getting ahead and getting things
53
:: 
 02:31  
done we so often admire in people have more
54
:: 
 02:34  
to do with impostor than we think.
55
:: 
 02:37

56
