In this episode, I talk to Jen Coken. She is a coach, speaker, and comedian who has coached thousands of people for nearly 20 years to go beyond their self-made limitations and produce breakthrough results. She uses humor to help her clients transition through tough times to rediscover their joy, purpose, and passion.
We talk about imposter syndrome, how it works, Jen’s five-step formula: The P.O.W.E.R code, depth of dissatisfaction, and more.

From S1E6 of Trainer's Lab Podcast with Blake Scheidt.
Show Notes:
Quotes:
“You'll get the most condensed and packed information even from people you talk to, versus textbooks sometimes.” - Misbah
“Read stuff that other coaches aren't reading." - Misbah
“ You might not be qualified to coach that person. Let them decide it, though, not you. ”- Blake
“I think part of the best way to overcome impostor syndrome is realizing that your struggle is not unique.” - Blake
“Nobody is going to know everything.” - Misbah
“A lot of times imposter syndrome really is too much focus on your own self.” - Blake
“No matter who you are, what you make, there's still some things that you indulge in. That you pay more than you think it's worth. Maybe more than you should. And it gives you a good service in exchange.” - Misbah
“Make sure that you're having fun. Like I know that sounds really practical. But when this is fun, you don't feel like an imposter.” - Blake
