    I Got Punched for a Living: Why Cold Calling Isn’t Scary

    Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

    Cold calling terrifies most salespeople more than losing their biggest account. The rejection. The hang-ups. The voice telling you that you're bothering people who don't want to hear from you. Before transitioning into sales, Steve Munn spent nine years as a professional hockey defenseman. As a hockey player, his job was to make life difficult for the other team and absorb whatever they dished back.  "Part of it was getting punched in the face," he said on a recent episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast. "If I get a no from a prospect, that's maybe a bad day, but it's certainly not as bad as getting a concussion or a broken nose again." That perspective shift, understanding what actually constitutes a threat, changes everything about how you approach cold calling. It goes beyond being tougher or having thicker skin. Your Fear Isn't About the Call Most sales professionals will do anything to avoid call blocks. They'll update their CRM. Reorganize their pipeline. Respond to emails that could wait three days. Anything but pick up the phone. The problem isn't the person on the other end of the line. You don't want to be the one who fumbles, doesn't have the right answer, or proves you don't belong in that conversation. Imposter syndrome thrives in sales because every call is another opportunity to prosecute yourself. Every objection becomes evidence that you're not cut out for this. Every hang-up confirms what you secretly suspected: You're bothering people who have better things to do. That internal narrative is all in your head, and it's costing you deals. Get Your Mind Right First You can't make effective cold calls when you're living in your head. Anxiety, overthinking, or trying to sound perfect makes every conversation feel forced. Nothing bad actually happens on a sales call. Your life isn't in danger, and a hung-up phone or curt “not interested” barely registers as a problem. The best cold callers aren't fearless. They're prepared mentally before they start dialing. Find what gets you into the right frame of mind: review recent wins, remind yourself that you're solving real problems, or call a colleague for perspective. The goal is connecting with another human, not executing a perfect pitch. People can tell the difference. Separate Message From Delivery When someone says "we're all set" and hangs up, they're not making a judgment about your worth as a salesperson or a human being. They're communicating one thing: They're not interested right now. The delivery might feel harsh, and the tone might sound dismissive. But the message is simple and impersonal. Athletes learn this early. Coaches scream. Teammates criticize. Opponents talk trash. If you react emotionally to how something is said rather than hearing what's actually being communicated, you become ineffective. In sales, the same principle applies. When you stop taking the delivery personally, you can actually hear what's being said. Sometimes what sounds like a hard no is actually "you haven't given me a reason to care yet" or "call me back in six months." You Don't Need to Know Everything One of the biggest barriers to cold calling is the belief you must have all the answers. You hesitate because you think, "What if they ask something I don't know? I'll look like a fool." Here's what that thinking misses: You have a team. No salesperson operates in a vacuum. You've got service teams, technical experts, partners, and colleagues who collectively know far more than you do individually. The expectation that you should show up with encyclopedic knowledge is self-imposed and unrealistic. What matters on a cold call isn't demonstrating expertise. It's demonstrating curiosity and commitment.  When you release yourself from the pressure to be perfect, cold calling becomes about investigation rather than performance.  Ask Questions Nobody Else Does Most salespeople treat cold calls like a race to present their solution.

    First things first, friends: Imposter syndrome is not a thought: “I am an imposter” or a feeling: “I feel like a fake.” It's a circumstance. And if we want to overcome it, we need to understand it…which means clearly identifying it for what it is, which removes SOME of imposter syndrome's power. Think of imposter syndrome as the monster behind your closet door: you sit there, covers pulled up to your chin, staring at it the door. In your mind, the monster (aka, imposter syndrome) keeps getting bigger and bigger and scarier and scarier. Finally, you muster up the courage to walk across the room and open the closet door. And instead of a monster, your cat walks out, looking annoyed that you found their hiding place. Logically, you know that it was never a monster. It was just your cat. Get ready to shine a light on your own imposter syndrome fears and frustrations, and learn what you can do to shut it down for good (mostly).Links & Resources:Ultimate Growth GuideJoin the Facebook groupKey Takeaways:You're new, not fake. Because being a beginner is normal and temporary.You know enough to help someone today even if you don't know everything yet.Do it anyway because confidence comes from taking action, not just learning more."Can I trust you?" is what people really want to know when they ask about your credentials.Learn while you coach instead of waiting until you're "ready" to start helping people.Name the specific thoughts that make you feel like an imposter, then replace them with better ones.Feeling like an imposter means you're growing and pushing beyond what's comfortable.

    Physician Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Imposter syndrome is not a personal failing." Jessie explains how self-doubt among physicians is less about individual weakness and more about a conditioned mindset reinforced by medical culture. She describes how hypervigilance, relentless preparation, and constant comparison are framed as excellence but instead fuel overwork, burnout, and compliance with unreasonable demands. Jessie emphasizes that imposter syndrome may benefit productivity in the health care system but comes at a profound cost to physician well-being, sustainability, and patient care. She reframes self-doubt as evidence of growth rather than inadequacy and calls for a cultural shift that stops normalizing imposter syndrome as inevitable in medicine. Listeners will learn how recognizing systemic patterns and reframing self-perceptions can empower clinicians to thrive without sacrificing their health or authenticity.

Access Valora here and get personalised actions for growth > ‍ The Truth About Coaching Through Imposter Syndrome So many coaches and consultants encounter clients who hold themselves back—not because they lack skills, but because they quietly believe they don't deserve success. ‍ In this episode of The Brilliant Book Festival, I'm joined by Clare Josa, author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome and now her follow-up book: Coaching Imposter Syndrome. ‍ Clare has spent more than two decades helping people break free from imposter syndrome. Now her mission is bigger: to equip coaches, consultants and leaders with safe, practical tools to recognise and respond to imposter syndrome when it shows up in their sessions. ‍ She also reveals the myths still circulating about imposter syndrome, why it's not the same as self-doubt, and how AI might just play a surprising role in helping people feel more confident and capable. ‍ If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between skills-based self-doubt and deeper identity-level imposter syndrome, this conversation will open your eyes. ‍ Prefer to WATCH? https://www.youtube.com/@melittacampbell ‍‍ ‍ “Imposter syndrome isn't a life sentence. It's something you can spot, understand and clear.” – Clare Josa ‍ Beyond Self-Doubt: Spotting the Real Signs Clare explains that self-doubt is about skills, while imposter syndrome cuts deeper — it's about identity. ‍ Self-doubt sounds like: “I don't know enough, I need more experience.” Imposter syndrome sounds like: “I'm not good enough. They'll find me out.” This distinction matters, because the tools that help with self-doubt often fail when the issue is imposter syndrome. Coaches who miss this can leave clients feeling stuck or even unsafe. ‍ The Myths Holding Us Back In recent years, imposter syndrome has gained visibility, but with that has come misinformation. Clare shares how some dismiss it as: ‍ “Just self-doubt in disguise.” “A construct designed to hold women back.” Her response? Labels aside, what matters is helping people recognise the patterns keeping them small, and giving them tools to move forward. ‍ “Confidence grows fastest when you have the right tools and support at your fingertips.” – Clare Josa ‍ ‍ Practical Tools for Coaches Clare's new book and app provide 26 simple, safe tools coaches can use the moment imposter syndrome gatecrashes a session. These tools help coaches to: ‍ Clear limiting patterns without opening emotional “Pandora's boxes.” Shift their clients mindset fast with confidence and safety. Give coaches clarity on how far to go — and when to signpost deeper support. The goal isn't to turn every coach into an imposter syndrome specialist, but to equip them with the confidence to help clients without overstepping. ‍ ‍ Imposter Syndrome, Introverts and Change Clare also clears up another myth: imposter syndrome doesn't only affect introverts. Both introverts and extroverts experience it, but they cope differently: ‍ Introverts tend to overthink. Extroverts tend to overact. And because imposter syndrome is linked to identity, it often surfaces during times of transition—like stepping into a new role, raising prices, or navigating fast-changing technology. ‍ AI as a Confidence Companion Perhaps most intriguing, Clare has developed Ask Clare AI — an app trained on millions of her own words to give coaches, managers and individuals real-time support between sessions. ‍ It's not designed to replace the coach, but to act as a safe, trauma-informed resource when self-doubt or fear strikes in the moment. ‍ ‍ A Final Thought to Reflect On Coaching through imposter syndrome isn't about fixing clients — it's about helping them reconnect with who they really are. ‍ When coaches can spot the difference between self-doubt and identity-level struggle, and when they have the tools to guide clients safely through those first steps, everyone benefits. ‍ As Clare reminds us, the real goal is bigger than overcoming imposter syndrome. It's about building a world where people feel comfortable in their own skin, confident in their contribution, and free to reach their full potential. ‍ So instead of asking, “How do I help my clients push through self-doubt?” try asking, “How can I give them the tools and confidence to break free from imposter syndrome for good?” ‍ That small shift in perspective can change not just a coaching session, but the whole trajectory of a client's success. ‍ ‍ ‍ About Clare Clare Josa has been a leadership mentor since 2003. She's the author of eight books, including Dare To Dream Bigger and Ditching Imposter Syndrome. She was certified as an NLP Trainer in 2003, and is also a formally-trained Meditation and Yoga Teacher Teacher, a Reformed Engineer and the former Head of Market Research for one of the UK's most disruptive companies.  ‍ Clare has spent more than a decade specialising in empowering passionate world-changers to do the ‘inside work' so that you can get on with making a difference in the world. As co-founder of the EU VAT Action campaign in 2014, she has had to overcome any remaining ‘visibility' fears, to stand on international stages (European Parliament, Downing Street, IoD) in front of people who had been studying what she was giving keynotes on for most of their careers. ‍ She is regularly interviewed by the international press and has been interviewed by numerous radio and TV stations. She is a member of the UK's Institute of Directors and she speaks internationally about how to change the world by changing yourself. ‍ Clare lives in Sussex, in the UK, with her husband, their 3 young boys, a bouncy Jack Russell, a totally loopy springer spaniel, and 10 mindful chickens.  ‍ Read Clare's Books: Ditching Imposter Syndrome ‍‍                                         Coaching Imposter Syndrome.

You're not alone. Up to 70% of professionals experience imposter syndrome at some point, and clergy are especially vulnerable.In this episode, we explore: ✨ What imposter syndrome is and how it shows up in ministry life. ✨ Why clergy are especially prone to self-doubt in a role filled with high expectations, public visibility, and constant comparison. ✨ The unique weight carried by marginalized clergy (women, clergy of color, and LGBTQIA clergy) who don't fit the historic “norm” of what a pastor looks like. ✨ The spiritual cost of imposter syndrome, and what scripture teaches us about leaders who felt inadequate—Moses, Jeremiah, and Paul. ✨ Practical strategies to help you reframe success, celebrate wins, ground yourself spiritually, and build support networks.You'll also hear insights from writers and researchers like Brené Brown and Chanequa Walker-Barnes, reminding us that larger systems often shape self-doubt—and that healing is possible.At the heart of today's conversation is this truth: God's call is bigger than our doubts. You are not an imposter. You are called, equipped, and not alone.

    DESCRIPTION In this episode, Jo & Vicky are joined by Jason Light, Director at PACT (Professional Association of Canine Trainers). They provide ABTC recognised courses and a support network for dog trainers who want to build ethical, resilient practices that grow fast and stand the test of time. PACT is known for its welfare-first, science-led approach to assessing  and training dog professionals.  Today's conversation isn't about competing voices. It's about exploring how we can collectively support trainers and behaviourists to build sustainable, ethical practices that work for them. KEY TAKEAWAYS PACT training is a combination of online and in-person. It is a highly flexible and supportive way to learn. At PACT they find ways to tick multiple business strengthening and ethical boxes with one activity.  Imposter syndrome holds most trainers back. There are several root causes PACT will help you to overcome yours. Counter-intuitively, knowing how you can exit your business, e.g. sell it, is freeing and empowering. Collaboration, not competition, is the future of the dog training industry. Practical examples of this working in the real world are discussed.  Building sustainable, ethical practices is essential. Sustainable includes building a business that will provide you with an income for decades to come. Compassion fatigue is a key reason trainers leave the industry. PACT provides training and support to address this issue. For long term success, business skills are just as important as dog knowledge.   There are lots of ways to work that enable you to only do the things you like doing and are good at. Jason explains how. BEST MOMENTS “How can we have a truly sustainable business in every sense? - the financial sense, longevity, resilience, as well as the social and economic benefits that you can achieve.” “We're seeing more behaviourists and trainers cross referring between each other.” “You can do it (PACT training) flexibly in your own time, but the in-person days are kind of fixed.” “We're really passionate about showing best practice... a really modern way of doing business.” “At PACT we find ways to tick multiple boxes with one activity.”  “I made a whole career out of finding fantastic people that do brilliant stuff and getting their support and paying them for it.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.pact-dogs.com Free taster courses - https://www.pact-dogs.com/pactfreecourses SOCIALS AND IMPORTANT LINKS https://www.tiktok.com/@letstalkdogbusiness https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkDogBusiness Website www.caninebusinessacademy.com Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caninebusinessacademycommunity/ Let´s Talk Dog Business Strategy Book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lets-Talk-Dog-Business-Strategy/dp/1068791705 Email hello@caninebusinessacademy.com ABOUT THE HOSTS Meet Jo and Vicky!

    On the surface, many lawyers appear to have it all: partnerships, accolades, case wins, and financial security. Yet behind the polished exterior lies exhaustion, anxiety, and an unshakable sense of emptiness. In this episode, Gary Miles explores what he calls the success paradox: how the very drive and perfectionism that fuel achievement often become the source of stress, burnout, and self-doubt. He shares candid stories from his own career, including the hidden costs of chasing external validation and the personal turning point that reshaped his perspective on law and life. Through vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom, Gary shows how perfectionism can be transformed into sustainable excellence, and how redefining success leads to both professional mastery and personal fulfillment. Practical strategies from his Free Lawyer framework highlight the power of setting boundaries, embracing internal authority, and building a practice that truly serves one's life.

    186. Get Noticed Without Changing Who You Are This episode of the Visibility Factor podcast discusses the importance of visibility and influence in leadership. She emphasizes that individuals do not need to change who they are but rather amplify their unique traits to stand out. The conversation covers common challenges faced by leaders, such as imposter syndrome and self-doubt, and offers strategies to overcome these obstacles. Barber encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness, build self-confidence, and take actionable steps to enhance their visibility and impact in their professional lives.   takeaways You don't have to change who you are to be visible. Quiet leaders often feel invisible despite their contributions. Building self-confidence is essential for leadership. Visibility means leveraging your contributions strategically. Imposter syndrome affects a significant number of professionals. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge. You must trust others to achieve results as a leader. Recognizing your achievements is crucial for self-worth. Small actions can lead to greater visibility.

    Episode 365: DON DIABLO "The Visionary of Future House on Imposter Syndrome & Humanizing A.I." This week on @RoadPodcast, the crew sits down with future house pioneer @DonDiablo for a deep and personal conversation. At 01:55, Don talks about running on little sleep before his Pier 19 show and why NYC remains his biggest market. By 06:55, he explains why he avoids repeating sets, preferring Tomorrowland's smaller, darker stages over the main stage. At 12:20, Don reflects on his teenage years in the Dutch scene, from being taken advantage of as a young producer to being labeled a “weirdo” by peers. He admits that sometimes he hates being Don Diablo, finding true acceptance only through his fans. At 18:10, he recalls his production roots and the joy of creating purely for fun. By 24:55, the tone shifts as Don shares a powerful story about his father's illness, the lessons from their final conversations, and how this shaped his outlook on time, purpose, and music. He recalls writing songs like “The Artist Inside” as a tribute to his father, and performing it at his funeral, the most difficult moment of his career. At 37:55, Don speaks on the therapeutic nature of songwriting, before offering his perspective on AI at 44:01, viewing it not as a threat, but as a tool to make creativity even more human. Closing out at 1:01:44, Don dives into his Hexagon label, the video for “Anytime”, and the contracts he gave artists. At 1:05:01, he shouts out @BeatsourceOfficial, and at 1:18:45, leaves us with a quote to remember: “The devil works hard, but the DJ works harder.” This episode is sponsored by @SoundCollectiveNYC, an industry-leading music school, musical space and community located in downtown Manhattan for aspiring DJ's, Producers, Musicians and more.

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.”Guest:  Maureen Zappala, keynote speaker and an incredible authorHost:  Chris Comeaux, President / CEO of TELEIOShttps://www.teleioscn.org/anatomy-of-leadership/conquering-imposter-syndrome-with-maureen-zappalaThe Anatomy of Leadership podcast explores the art and science of leadership through candid, insightful conversations with thought leaders, innovators, and change-makers from a variety of industries.

    This is the season for Emmy-Nominated actor Karen Pittman. She touched hearts this summer with Netflix's Judy Blume remake, Forever, and this fall she's shaking things up in the fourth season of The Morning Show on Apple TV+. After three seasons of watching Karen's character, Mia Jordan, follow the company line even at her own peril, the UBA executive is coming into her own and taking what's hers. It's a thrilling arc for a dynamic character, and one that Karen knows well. Acting was her second-act career, one that she fought for amid the ups and downs of her personal life. After grinding in the business for 20 years, Karen says it's the journey that she appreciates; a journey that has helped her leave imposter syndrome behind and take more risks — in life and her career. The fourth season of The Morning Show is now streaming on Apple TV+.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    James sits down once again with cosmologist Brian Keating—longtime friend of the show and author of Into the Impossible: Focus Like a Nobel Prize Winner. In this candid conversation, they challenge each other's views on focus, curiosity, and the trade-offs of staying in your lane.

    Join us for another Episode of the Scrap, this time with Marshall Boyd, a 23-year veteran of two small fire departments south of Houston. We discuss imposter syndrome, sharing how he's worked to impact his corner of the fire service despite feeling like “no one from nowhere.” Marshall explores the shift in firefighting tactics over the years, and the process of making the change... from fiberglass poles to modern tools, and the importance of perspective in adapting to change. We discuss and compare career and volunteer firefighting, the mission remains the same regardless of pay. Marshall also covers leadership as influence, especially in volunteer settings where there's no leverage, and why making the job personal drives his work. Expect insights on through-the-lock forcible entry and the challenges of moving from the truck to the buggy. And as always... our best laid plans were beautifully derailed by the awesome questions from the live audience!!!!
