How Account Managers Can Beat Imposter Syndrome and Build Executive Presence | EP67

High performers don’t grow out of imposter syndrome. They just learn how to hide it better.   Executive coach and imposter syndrome specialist Dr. Tara Halliday joins the show to unpack why so many accomplished people still feel like they don’t belong and how that belief quietly shapes confidence, performance, and presence at work. She explains how the nervous system hijacks clear thinking in high-pressure moments and why so many account managers slip into over-preparing, perfectionism, or self-doubt even with a strong track record behind them. What shifts when your worth no longer hinges on every client reaction or tough conversation? How different does leadership feel when your body finally stops sounding the alarm?   Tara offers a simple way to return to calm in high-stakes moments and shows how that state unlocks clearer thinking, better judgment, and a sense of authority that feels natural rather than forced. The conversation reframes confidence as a trainable internal skill and invites listeners to rethink what real executive presence looks like from the inside out, with insights that resonate across entrepreneurship, business, and wellbeing.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 What Imposter Syndrome Really Is 07:52 The Root Cause of Self-Doubt 13:21 How Stress Hijacks Performance 15:50 A Two-Minute Reset for Your Nervous System 24:50 Building Executive Presence Through Calm 30:59 Inner Work and Career Growth Connect with Tara Halliday: Visit Inner Success Connect with Tara on LinkedIn   Connect with Alex Raymond: Visit the AMplify website Connect with Alex on LinkedIn Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
