Today’s conversation with Sara Cantor, Founder and Executive Director of Greater Good Studio, is an exercise in leadership vulnerability.

Imposter syndrome is real. Whether you’re coming to formalized leadership through an opportunity that you created or through an opening, it can be difficult to accept that you are the right person for the job.

Learn from Sara’s journey how to:

• Identify the right next step(s) for you
• Pivot if you find yourself on the wrong path
• Build relationships to help you forward
• Assess what you alone bring into the role
• Embrace the continual process of learning and applying
• Accept that it should be you!

Helpful takeaways for your succession planning.
