    Ever feel one mistake away from being “found out”? You’re not alone. Former NASA propulsion engineer Maureen Zappala shares how imposter syndrome secretly affects high performers and provides practical strategies to overcome self-doubt that holds us back from our full potential.

    Maureen shares her journey from melting equipment at NASA’s jet engine test facility to becoming the first female and youngest manager of its Propulsion Systems Lab. Despite her impressive credentials, she constantly questioned her worth, even believing she was hired only because she was a woman.


    What makes this episode particularly valuable is Maureen's practical framework for tackling imposter syndrome. She outlines five powerful strategies that begin with recognizing the symptoms and culminate in connecting with your deeper purpose. Along the way, she dismantles common misconceptions, explaining why imposter syndrome isn't something you "solve once and for all," but rather a recurring challenge that requires ongoing awareness and vigilance.

    The conversation explores how imposter syndrome shows up across professions—from healthcare to leadership, creative work to entrepreneurship—revealing both personal struggles and costly organizational consequences, like a supervisor’s silence leading to defective products.

    Whether you're a seasoned executive, an emerging leader, or simply someone striving for excellence in your field, this episode offers both comfort and actionable insights. Her message is clear: imposter syndrome isn’t a one-time fix but an ongoing challenge—and one you can learn to navigate with confidence. As Maureen says, “Imposter syndrome is not the end of the road.”

  • The Future of Work: Prioritizing Human Connection
    Aug 13 2025

    Send us a text

    "Connection isn't new, it's just neglected. And it's neglected now more than ever." These powerful words from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ryan Jenkins set the stage for a transformative conversation about what might be our most critical yet overlooked human need.

    Despite our hyperconnected world of social media, texting, and endless digital communication, genuine connection continues to slip through our fingers. Jenkins reveals the crucial distinction between mere communication and true connection – explaining how our brains process these experiences differently and why it matters so profoundly.

    The stakes couldn't be higher: lacking social connection is actually more harmful to your health than smoking twenty cigarettes daily for forty years.

    In this episode of the Anatomy of Leadership, Ryan also discusses the critical importance of connection in leadership and the workplace. He emphasizes that connection is often neglected despite being a fundamental human need.

    The conversation explores generational differences in experiencing loneliness, the challenges of remote work, and the innovative AI tool Rivet designed to foster connections.

    Jenkins shares actionable insights for leaders to cultivate meaningful relationships within their teams, highlighting the necessity of being intentional about connection in an increasingly digital world.

  • Redesigning Healthcare: A Path to Value-Based Care

    Is America’s Healthcare System Beyond Repair? Rita Numerof Doesn’t Think So.

    In this powerful crossover episode of Anatomy of Leadership and TCNTalks, Chris Comeaux sits down with healthcare strategist and thought leader Rita Numerof, Co-founder and President of Numerof & Associates. Together, they pull back the curtain on one of today’s most urgent crises: the deeply flawed business model driving healthcare in America.


    Rita offers a bold diagnosis, explaining how misaligned incentives, opaque pricing, and outdated payment systems have derailed care. But she doesn’t stop there. With clarity and conviction, she lays out a path forward: a market-based model that ties payment to performance, empowers consumers, and demands transparency and accountability from every player—from providers to payers to policymakers.


    The episode dives into:

    • Why the current system resists change—and how to break through
    • The role of technology in reshaping care delivery
    • How insurance companies contribute to the dysfunction
    • What real consumer responsibility in healthcare could look like


    Rather than offering quick fixes, Rita champions systemic reform with optimism and urgency.

    🎧 Don’t miss this thought-provoking conversation. It’s a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of healthcare.
