Meet Our Guest -
Hi - I'm Trisha Lewis and I'm on an 'unsquashing' mission!
A more LinkedIn style description would be 'communication and confidence coach'.
About 7 years ago, I entered the business world and felt a bit discombobulated.
My portfolio career before this included - actor, entertainer, speaker, funeral celebrant and reminiscence facilitator! Although I did start off back in the late 70s in the 'Mad Men' advertising world.
When I realised what lay behind my discombobulated feelings - I knew I wasn't alone.
I was struggling to show up fully as me! I was beset with comparisonitis, should-traps and something that felt a bit like impostor syndrome.
I took a slightly more upbeat approach to impostor syndrome though - enter my term 'self-squashing'!
A book, podcast and TEDx were born.
The story I tell in my TEDx is about business networking - a before and after story.
This is the topic we explore in this episode!
Oh - and here in my 67th year - I'm a new climber! Comfort-zone stretching rocks! #nevertooold.
Stay curious and unsquashed x
