A game of 'status' - understanding our percieved 'worth'

I once participated in an intriguing exercise centered around social status. 

The exercise highlights the influence that our perceived status has on our interactions and behavior.

Now that I'm aware of the energies at play within social situations, I can apply the exercise for shedding light on how imposter syndrome can impact on our self-perception.

In this episode I'll explain what the exercise is, and how you can apply it to your future networking events and meetings to understand how others percieve you.

Overcoming fear and embracing personal growth

It's my goal of this episode that I'll be offering powerful insights on combatting imposter syndrome and helping you with embracing personal growth.

We'll be emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance, finding a trusted partner, and developing a step-by-step action plan.

By redirecting our focus from comparison to relating and understanding others, we can free ourselves from the limitations of Imposter Syndrome and unlock our true potential.

About the Podcast

The Weeniecast: make more money, create an impact
Money mindset and impact coaching for business owners
I help business owners make more money in less time, so they can create bigger impact.
It doesn't matter what it is, we all have a sense of purpose. We want to leave a legacy.
We want to matter. And the best way of doing that, is to become wealthy.
But the sad reality is a lot of us are stuck in 'weenie' mode. In other words, we make up excuses for why we can't become our brilliant, wealthy selves.
That ends with this podcast.

My name is Katie McManus.
As a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) I know how to help people like you to reach their financial goals, and earn the life they've always dreamed of.

Until quite recently, I described myself as a business strategist and money mindset coach who was focusing on helping business owners with ADHD to get more income from their business.
I've been helping some of them get eleven times the value of their investment back.
And then, I had an epiphany.
I was being a weenie.
Being a business strategist is not the limit of my gifts to the world.
I'm also a political activist, a serial entrepreneur who oversees multiple six figure businesses, and I'm the founder of a non-profit with dreams of helping members of the LGBTQ+ community to find more joy from their lives in a very specific way.
And all of that is being achieved by scaling my business in a way that I don't have to be in it every hour of the day, but still make enough money to work hard on making impact.
Do you also want to learn how you can make more money, in less time, so that you can create impact on your community, or with projects that are important to you?

Want coaching on money mindset, sales advice, and general business growth, but all from the safety and comfort of your own space?

If you're wanting to listen to business strategy and money mindset advice that's specifically targeted to business owners like you who want to achieve BIG things but maybe have some challenges, then "The Weeniecast" is the podcast for YOU.

I will help you understand your own potential for growing a dream business that works without you but still makes seriously life-changing amounts of money.
