E210: Shatter the Ceiling Without Breaking Yourself with Jen Coken

Explore Other Episodes

As a female leader, how do you continue to advance and shatter the glass ceiling without breaking yourself in the process?

Whether you are a business owner or an executive working within a company, we all hit ceilings, some external and some internal. The key is understanding how to recognize them and break through them in a healthy way.

That's what Jen Coken and I discuss in this week's episode of the Lean Out Your Business Podcast. Jen is an internationally acclaimed Imposter Syndrome expert who empowers women executives in male-dominated industries to lead with more authority, influence, and impact and to be leaders people respect and recognize.

We discuss the growing number of women in leadership roles and why companies must create better pathways for them to succeed. Jen highlights the importance of self-discovery and confidence, encouraging women to know their worth and tackle biased environments head-on.

We share practical tips for overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome, such as speaking up, setting personal goals, and balancing work and life. Jen also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming book and her Executive Presence Accelerator Program, designed to support women in STEM.

In this episode, we dive into how to shatter the ceiling without breaking yourself including:

  • Strengthening your executive presence and influence
  • Turning feelings of imposter "syndrome" into your superpower
  • What imposter syndrome really is - hint: it's not a syndrome
  • What to do when you feel undervalued or invisible
  • Navigating biases and external glass ceilings
  • Recognizing and breaking internal glass ceilings
  • Setting boundaries without feeling guilty
      

"Experiencing imposter syndrome could be a sign that you're playing big or taking risks in your career. Embrace it as a superpower."

 –Jen Coken
