Harness Imposter Syndrome as Your Superpower with Alani Bankhead
Jan 25, 2024
In this enlightening episode of Leading with Heart, I am interviewing Alani Bankhead, a life coach, speaker, and author of 'The Least of Us: How Your Imposter Syndrome Points to Your Greatest Power.'
Alani Bankhead is an ICF-certified professional coach, TEDx speaker, best selling author, and owner of Mighty Sparrow Coaching LLC. Through workshops, speaking events, and private coaching, her company is focused on helping individuals and teams crush their imposter syndrome and achieve fulfilling lives and mission outcomes previously thought unattainable. Alani gained this passion during her 20-year career where she hunted spies, terrorists, and human traffickers around the globe as a supervisory special agent. She is now committed to ensuring no one suffers the way she did by guiding heart-centered, high-achieving professionals to understanding that their weakness is actually the key to unlocking their greatest power.
Alani shares her experiences with imposter syndrome, offering actionable steps to recognize and transform it from a weakness to personal strength. She emphasizes the importance of acknowledging your imposter syndrome, nurturing curiosity about it, and reviewing evidence of past successes to help overcome it. Bankhead also recommends employing spiritual practices and aligning actions with core values to achieve a state of alignment and flow.
