OM DENNE EPISODE
High performers know this feeling: the results are solid, the success is real — but right at the edge of something bigger, something inside hesitates.
Most people call it imposter syndrome. Jen Coken calls it what it actually is — a protection pattern.
An executive coach, speaker, and author, Jen works with high-achieving leaders — especially women in STEM — to uncover the strategies they built earlier in life that once helped them succeed, but now quietly hold them back.
In this episode, she breaks down how to identify those patterns, understand where they come from, and lead with them instead of against them.
If you’ve ever found it easier to support someone else’s vision than your own, this conversation will resonate.
Listen to Pivot Point: Strategy for Change with Nik Michael to rethink imposter syndrome — not as a flaw, but as a strategy ready to be understood.
