Welcome to Virtual Summit Success.
Jenn:
00:00:04
I'm Jenn, founder of Virtual Summit Search, and you're in the right place
Jenn:
00:00:07
if you want to make the most of your virtual summit experience, whether
Jenn:
00:00:10
you're a host or virtual summit speaker.
Jenn:
00:00:13
Let's get going with your next step to virtual summit success.
Jenn:
00:00:18
In this snippet from a Sell With a Summit: Speaker Edition session, Faith
Jenn:
00:00:21
is talking about imposter syndrome.
Jenn:
00:00:24
I've felt it, you've felt it, but we can work past it to take on our
Jenn:
00:00:27
summit speaking - and our business in general - with confidence.
Jenn:
00:00:30
I'll let Faith take it away though and tell you more!
Jenn:
00:00:33
I am excited to introduce you to the wonderful Faith Rumer, founder of
Jenn:
00:00:36
Raise My Impact and coach of Grammy and Academy Award winning performers.
Jenn:
00:00:40
Thank you so much for being here, Faith!
Faith Rumer:
00:00:42
Oh, I am really excited.
Jenn:
00:00:44
Alright, so I know that you've got some stuff prepared for us, so feel
Jenn:
00:00:49
free to just go ahead and jump right in!
Faith Rumer:
00:00:51
Okay.
Faith Rumer:
00:00:51
So I'm Faith Rumer, as Jenn said, and I am passionate about helping creatives
Faith Rumer:
00:00:58
and leaders share their message with confidence and authentically connect with
Faith Rumer:
00:01:02
their audience and powerfully express themselves so that they can get their
Faith Rumer:
00:01:06
passion out into the world and create a bigger impact and make a difference.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:10
So welcome to this workshop, Share Your Message Confidently: Engage
Faith Rumer:
00:01:14
Your Audience with Impact and Ease and Grow Your Business Now.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:19
I want to start by asking you a really simple question: what would your life
Faith Rumer:
00:01:24
look like if you had the confidence and the certainty to fully get your
Faith Rumer:
00:01:29
gifts and talents out into the world?
Faith Rumer:
00:01:33
Now, just imagine if that were true.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:36
You could be making a real difference in your own life, your community,
Faith Rumer:
00:01:40
your family, and even the world.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:42
You'd be speaking and presenting your message with power and
Faith Rumer:
00:01:45
impact and truly connecting with your audience every single time.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:50
You'd be creating success in the world as a creative professional
Faith Rumer:
00:01:53
or a leader or a speaker.
Faith Rumer:
00:01:56
Now, so many people have a voice inside their head that constantly tells them
Faith Rumer:
00:02:00
- I mean, constantly tells them - that they're not doing a good enough job.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:04
It's called your Inner Critic.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:06
And it's the voice of the teacher or your parent or marketing that told
Faith Rumer:
00:02:11
Load full transcript
us that we're not doing it right or that we'll never be good enough.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:17
And one of the major things that really feeds your inner critic is
Faith Rumer:
00:02:22
what we call imposter syndrome.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:25
And imposter syndrome is that idea that you don't deserve your success,
Faith Rumer:
00:02:29
that you're an imposter, a fake, and you don't really deserve to be
Faith Rumer:
00:02:34
in the position you're in, that the real you is just not good enough.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:39
So let's dig into imposter syndrome.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:42
Let's check this out.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:45
Imposter syndrome is destructive and it's painful.
Faith Rumer:
00:02:48
First of all, why?
Faith Rumer:
00:02:49
Because it keeps us from doing our work that we came here to do and then it keeps
Faith Rumer:
00:02:55
us from helping the very people that need to hear our message or be helped
Faith Rumer:
00:03:00
by our process or our information, but imposter syndrome is just another lie
Faith Rumer:
00:03:06
that we tell ourselves to try and protect ourselves from being embarrassed or being
Faith Rumer:
00:03:12
judged, and no one wants to feel the way.
Faith Rumer:
00:03:14
No one wants to be embarrassed and no one wants to feel judged.
Faith Rumer:
00:03:18
Now, it's really great to have something to work with to help fix
Faith Rumer:
00:03:22
this 'cause it's not going to go away on itself, it's just there.
Faith Rumer:
00:03:25
So I developed this process called the Call Out the Lie process, and
Faith Rumer:
00:03:31
the first step is that you're going to identify some negative imposter
Faith Rumer:
00:03:35
lies, self-talk that you have.
Faith Rumer:
00:03:38
For example, I might think as I was creating my courses, or you might
Faith Rumer:
00:03:41
think as you're trying to create, you know, something or speak at a summit,
Faith Rumer:
00:03:46
"I don't know what I'm talking about."
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:03:49
"I don't know what I'm talking about."
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:03:54
So the second step is to call out the lie and you're going to call BS on it.
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:03:59
You're going to call it out loud and you're going to say "that's a lie!"
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:02
Let yourself feel the lie you've been telling yourself and get passionate.
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:06
Say the words louder.
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:07
"I don't know what I'm talking about.
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:09
That's total BS!
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:10
I am not accepting that."
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:13
Now the third step is to replace the lie with the truth.
So you say the words,
the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:17
Well, you probably don't want to use that very similar wording or flip the
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:21
sentence from negative to positive because when you try to replace, "I don't know
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:27
what I'm talking about" with, "I know what I'm talking about," it might not
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:30
work because your brain or your body or your psyche just may not believe that.
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:36
So instead of "I know what I'm talking about," I can say, "my knowledge and
So you say the words, the lie out loud:
Speaker:
00:04:43
my expertise can really help people."
Now say it several times:
00:04:46
"my knowledge and my expertise can really help people."
Now say it several times:
00:04:50
That's a truth I can get behind!
Now say it several times:
00:04:53
And the fourth step is to add a word of encouragement so
Now say it several times:
00:04:57
that you can take some action.
Now say it several times:
00:04:59
And I would say, "I can do this.
Now say it several times:
00:05:01
I can really help people.
Now say it several times:
00:05:03
I can do this.
Now say it several times:
00:05:04
I can get out there and help people."
Now say it several times:
00:05:06
So it would look like, first of all, number one: "I don't
Now say it several times:
00:05:10
know what I'm talking about."
Then I call it out:
00:05:11
"That's a lie!
Then I call it out:
00:05:14
That's total BS.
Then I call it out:
00:05:15
I'm not accepting that."
I change it to the truth:
00:05:17
"My expertise and my knowledge can really help someone."
I change it to the truth:
00:05:23
And then I say, "I can do this.
I change it to the truth:
00:05:26
I can really help people."
I change it to the truth:
00:05:29
How does that sound?
Jenn:
00:05:30
I love that process, especially 'cause when you say it out loud, it's a
Jenn:
00:05:34
lot easier to recognize that no one else is going to say that about you out loud
Jenn:
00:05:39
because they don't believe it either.
Faith Rumer:
00:05:42
Yeah.
Faith Rumer:
00:05:42
So true.
Faith Rumer:
00:05:43
You think that people are saying that about you, but
Faith Rumer:
00:05:46
you're saying it about yourself.
Faith Rumer:
00:05:48
So call out the lie, and then let yourself believe what's really true.
Faith Rumer:
00:05:53
Our expertise and our knowledge can really help people.
Jenn:
00:05:57
Yeah, I love that sentence, too.
Jenn:
00:05:58
That's perfect.
Faith Rumer:
00:06:01
So once you find the root of your imposter syndrome and you work
Faith Rumer:
00:06:04
past that, it can still be hard to build some of your confidence as a speaker.
Faith Rumer:
00:06:08
So after working with thousands of actors and speakers and entrepreneurs and
Faith Rumer:
00:06:14
all of these people, I discovered that there are three pillars of confidence
Faith Rumer:
00:06:20
and that these three pillars build your confidence, but they're also
Faith Rumer:
00:06:24
necessary to help sustain your confidence because sometimes we'll work on one
Faith Rumer:
00:06:29
and then we go, "what's happening?
Faith Rumer:
00:06:30
I don't understand why I'm not confident anymore," because we need to make sure
Faith Rumer:
00:06:35
that all three of these are working.
Faith Rumer:
00:06:37
The first pillar is the body.
Faith Rumer:
00:06:41
And we need to ground ourselves and our energy and our body, because that
Faith Rumer:
00:06:45
creates a foundation for our confidence and the ability to express ourselves
Faith Rumer:
00:06:51
powerfully and to speak authentically.
Faith Rumer:
00:06:55
When you get nervous and your energy is all over the place and you're up in
Faith Rumer:
00:06:58
your head and you're judging yourself?
Faith Rumer:
00:07:01
I help my clients release that excess destructive tension and get them out of
Faith Rumer:
00:07:05
the head and then back into the body.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:07
So their body works to support their voice and their expression,
Faith Rumer:
00:07:12
and also their visual impact.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:14
That builds their confidence so then they can create greater impact when
Faith Rumer:
00:07:18
they share their message, and they connect with their audience in a more
Faith Rumer:
00:07:22
authentically and spontaneous way.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:27
The second pillar to our confidence is the mind.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:32
And this is where imposter syndrome can really sabotage.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:35
You want to remember that our thoughts create what we experience
Faith Rumer:
00:07:39
and there are no neutral thoughts.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:44
So first, you want to identify, what are your negative thoughts and release them.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:51
You cultivate more empowering thoughts, and then you shift
Faith Rumer:
00:07:54
your energy - that shifts your energy - and then rinse and repeat.
Faith Rumer:
00:07:58
Now, there are many great processes that I use with my clients to
Faith Rumer:
00:08:02
create more empowering thoughts, and they're not complicated - they
Faith Rumer:
00:08:05
shouldn't be complicated - but simple ways to create empowering thoughts
Faith Rumer:
00:08:09
that can really change our lives.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:12
What's most important is that we have something that helps us and that
Faith Rumer:
00:08:16
we're willing to use that process.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:18
And it's important to do this daily - rinse and repeat, just rinse and repeat.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:22
Okay, and the third pillar.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:24
Now this is our soul, our spirit, this is our why, it's your purpose.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:30
It's what is your intention when you speak or create a summit or
Faith Rumer:
00:08:34
design a program or even perform, if you were a creative artist.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:38
Your why moves you forward and it keeps you on course.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:42
A "why" can either empower us or move us off course and destroy our confidence.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:49
I just worked with a client and she was creating a video for her project,
Faith Rumer:
00:08:54
but she felt so uncomfortable and wasn't happy with when she looked
Faith Rumer:
00:08:57
at back at it, what she filmed.
Faith Rumer:
00:08:59
So we discovered that her why had become, "I want people to really like me."
Faith Rumer:
00:09:04
Of course, she was in her head and she got lost - she lost herself.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:08
Once we shifted her why to "I'm creating this video so all women can celebrate
Faith Rumer:
00:09:14
their own beauty," everything changed.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:17
It was so amazing to see the difference.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:21
So you might ask yourself, "how do I create confidence in my everyday life?"
Faith Rumer:
00:09:26
Well, it's not fake-it-til-you-make-it, 'cause some people say that,
Faith Rumer:
00:09:29
'cause that's not really true.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:31
It's about being who you are right now and sharing where you are right now
Faith Rumer:
00:09:36
and offering what you have right now.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:39
And working with those three pillars of confidence.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:42
Remember that every time we step out a little bigger, we're going to feel a
Faith Rumer:
00:09:46
little scared and a little nervous, but that's what we've been doing our whole.
Faith Rumer:
00:09:51
Think about all of the times that you had to step up in your life: getting
Faith Rumer:
00:09:54
an education, being a parent - if you're a parent - being a partner in a
Faith Rumer:
00:09:59
relationship, running your own business, even when you learned to drive a car.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:05
I remember that being pretty scary.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:07
Remember that it's okay to make a mistake; we're not something at first.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:12
And for me, willingness is my biggest ally.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:17
All you have to be as willing to put yourself out there.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:21
And even if things sometimes go wrong, it's okay.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:24
If you're willing and you don't give up, you're going to experience more
Faith Rumer:
00:10:29
success than you can even imagine.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:33
So we are always moving from where we are, from what we know, and from what
Faith Rumer:
00:10:39
our skillset is to where we want to be.
Faith Rumer:
00:10:43
And this is true for every successful person.
Jenn:
00:10:48
Awesome.
Jenn:
00:10:48
I'm so excited to be able to go through that, 'cause that, especially the process
Jenn:
00:10:53
that you gave us, that is something that I know is going to help so many
Jenn:
00:10:56
people, because having something tangible to
do, rather than just keep getting
Jenn:
00:11:02
into your own mind is so important.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:05
Oh my gosh, yeah.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:07
Yeah.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:07
And there's a lot of ways we can work on our confidence, but that
Faith Rumer:
00:11:10
one really seems to work well.
Jenn:
00:11:13
Yeah, it's really great.
Jenn:
00:11:15
So I know that you have a free training to help us take this even further.
Jenn:
00:11:21
So can you tell us a little bit about that so that folks can go and check that out?
Faith Rumer:
00:11:25
Sure.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:26
Oh, I'm so happy, to, great.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:27
So I've given you this process, the same process that I've used with
Faith Rumer:
00:11:31
my successful clients, and you've got a couple of options, right now?
Faith Rumer:
00:11:36
We've broken it down so you can use this information to get rid of some imposter
Faith Rumer:
00:11:41
syndrome and gain some real confidence.
Faith Rumer:
00:11:46
You can come in and lean into this process even more with me and develop what you
Faith Rumer:
00:11:51
need to get to the next step and make a difference in your work and your passion.
