What if the key to silencing your "imposter" isn't more knowledge, but a different kind of intelligence?
In this compelling episode of The Impodsters Podcast, hosts Johnny and Jeff sit down with distinguished C-suite executive and leadership coach Bill Tingle. Together, they unpack how imposter syndrome manifests not as a lack of skill, but as a critical gap in emotional intelligence—and how closing that gap can transform self-doubt into your greatest leadership asset.
Bill shares his own pivotal journey from a software engineer, terrified he'd be "found out" in a new management consulting role, to a confident leader who discovered that "leadership is fundamental." His personal struggle became the foundation for his work, helping high-achieving technologists and executives step into their power.
This conversation is a masterclass in reframing the imposter experience. They explore the surprising moment a leader's simple reassurance lifted a world of fear off Bill's shoulders, revealing the profound human need for psychological safety and validation.
The conversation dives into:
The "Doer to Leader" Trap: Why technologists and high-performers struggle most when moving into leadership, and how to declare yourself a "beginner" to unlock curiosity.
Emotional Intelligence as Your Anchor: A practical definition of EQ that focuses on awareness of emotions, their power to drive action, and the ability to consciously shift them.
"Friends and Enemies of Learning": How emotions like "I have to know it all" become enemies that fuel imposter syndrome, and how to cultivate "friends" like curiosity and openness.
The Language of Leadership: How the five fundamental constructs of language—declarations, requests, promises, assessments, and assertions—can build unshakeable trust and accountability in teams.
The Self-Trust Deficit: The fascinating link between breaking promises to yourself and deepening feelings of being an imposter.
This episode is for any leader who has ever felt like they were "faking it," especially those transitioning from technical expert to people leader. It’s an actionable guide to building the emotional and linguistic frameworks that turn doubt into confidence.
Listen to the full episode to learn how to lead from a place of authentic self-assurance.
