  • Safety Before Mindset: Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine on Imposter Syndrome in High-Achieving Leaders
    Oct 7 2026

    Successful on paper. Anxious at 3 a.m. Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine coaches the leaders who live with both.

    Dr. Liz holds a PhD in Conflict Analysis and Resolution and spent seven years in nonprofit executive leadership. She joins Dr. Steve Jeffs and Erwin de Grave to explain why imposter syndrome persists in high achievers.

    Her core point: you grow outside your comfort zone, but never outside your safety zone. When a career move threatens your marriage, your income, or your reputation, no mindset shift will move you. You need to name the fear and find the one change in the system worth making first.

    The conversation covers the loneliness of leadership, the limits of mindset coaching, and how she pinpoints where a client is stuck in under 15 minutes.

A conversation about authenticity, community, and what still can't be automated.
