How many times have you heard the term “Imposter Syndrome”? Maybe you identify with it, or maybe it feels more complex than that. While it’s said that up to 70% of people experience imposter feelings at some point in their careers, using it as a catch-all label can be pointless.
Research reveals that there are actually five distinct types of imposter syndrome and this Blog introduces you to them all! By identifying and understanding the type that resonates most with you, you can begin to loosen its hold and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
So, let’s dive in. Let’s meet the family.
If running a business is like a rollercoaster, at the end of last year the joy of the ride came to a halt and I was desperate to get off. My business and I started out together in late 2019 with the pandemic closely round the corner.

Nine months ago in the midst of the pandemic four ‘Female Founders’ smashed their #BackherBusiness campaigns and started a journey into running their own organisations. One of them was me!

In preparation for my forthcoming Group Coaching Course (starting 22nd February) here are my TOP 5 questions.
These are (of course) my personal preference. Not every question is right for that situation and some questions might just not fit for you at all, but these are my ‘go to’s’ that I pull out the bag in sessions, workshops and also when just ‘self-coaching’ or reflecting myself.
Read the blog and watch the short video to see how each question could work in a coaching session, meeting or in ‘Self-coaching’ reflection.

Meet The Dash Fund’s - Our Final Artist - Louise Daniels
So this artist is someone very close to my heart… as Louise is family – partner to my wonderful Dad and the loveliest, kindest, calmest, creative grandparent to my two little ones!
In this interview Louise talks about how she only ‘ever saw one direction for her as a career’, how art was integral to communication with her Grandparents and as a parent, and how everyone can be creative!
If you work in the arts, education, or any so-called ‘dream job’, you’ve probably heard things like ‘You’re so lucky to work here’ or ‘It’s not about the money - you do it for the love’. But what if that love is being exploited?
In this blog, I unpack the concept of the Passion Tax - when people in meaningful, creative work are overworked, underpaid, and under-recognised because their passion is treated as compensation. As a leader, this pressure is doubled: you're feeling it yourself while trying to support teams who feel the same.
