580: The Hidden Belief Blocking High Performers: "I'm Not Good Enough"

Why do even the most successful executives and management consultants secretly struggle with the belief that they're not good enough?

In this conversation with Josh Davis, PhD (psychology & neuroscience, Columbia University, NLP trainer) and Greg Prosmushkin (trial lawyer turned entrepreneur), we unpack:

  • Why top leaders and consultants battle with imposter syndrome

  • How invisible mental models shape every decision and client interaction

  • Why strategy, frameworks, and technical skill aren't enough if this belief goes unchallenged

  • Practical NLP tools to shift your mindset, reframe limitations, and lead with confidence

  • How to communicate with influence by understanding someone else's mental model

Whether you're leading a strategy engagement, preparing for a board presentation, or positioning yourself for partnership, this discussion reveals how to break through limiting beliefs and unlock executive presence.

Key Takeaways for Executives & Consultants

  • The real cost of "I'm not good enough" in leadership roles

  • Why curiosity and modeling are underused tools in consulting

  • How small language shifts transform client influence and team leadership

  • A proven process for reprogramming your internal dialogue
