Episode #131 The Imposter Speech – Before, Middle and After (BMA)

Imposter Syndrome isn’t the heavy weight you think it is. It’s a specific moment in time that can be overcome in an instant, as long as you have the Imposter SpeechTM.

The Imposter SpeechTM is the speech you give yourself when you’re questioning whether you’re enough or feeling like you don’t belong. It’s a way of thinking powerfully about who you are in the room so you can show up as who you are and perform to your potential.

This week in Legal Imposters I talk you through the before, middle and after (BMA) of the Imposter SpeechTM, the transformation it creates and how quickly it can work. You’ll learn the 3 characteristics that make it so powerful and how to use it in your day to day to create the safety you need to show up at your highest level.

Ready to build this powerful tool for yourself? You’ll have the opportunity to do exactly this tomorrow, Friday 1st May at 2pm UK, when the doors to Be The First Membership open for the first time.

This is your opportunity to join a community of black lawyers who are thinking about themselves powerfully in the room, realising their goals and ambitions and showing what they are capable of.

On joining you will get immediate access to the Identity Course where you build your Imposter SpeechTM step by step; the weekly Coaching programme where you get coached on the implementation; and the Be The First Community – where you’ll be inspired, motivated and supported by lawyers who look like you. All of it uniquely designed for your specific experience as a black lawyer. Doors close 10th May. Watch my Linkedin Instagram and Tik Tok closely for details.

P.P.S The Be The First Founders Party is tomorrow (Friday 1 May) at 12.30pm Uk. Join me for an event of Celebration, Education and Activation as we mark the start of a new era of connection, belonging and self-empowerment for black lawyers everywhere.
