In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I'm joined by Lucy Chamberlain, the founder of C&C Search, a leading recruiter in the UK. Despite being a successful business owner, award-winning motivational speaker and ICF qualified coach, Lucy has been plagued with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. We discuss her first encounter with impostor syndrome, the support she sought, the pivotal moment of change, and the three key principles she believes can silence your inner critic. Lucy also shares her insights on the Havening method and how she overcame feelings of shame. I was deeply inspired by her unwavering commitment to self-improvement, and I’m sure you will find her practical tips helpful for overcoming your own feelings of insecurity.
