What happens when you announce you're an expert in something you know absolutely nothing about? Janice Debo had built multiple businesses - transportation, nightgowns, event planning, nonprofit work - but never found her true calling. Then someone told her she should become a coach.

There was just one problem: Janice had no idea what coaching actually was.

"I announced that I was gonna become a coach. And at that point I didn't know exactly what that meant," she admits. But she'd already put it out there. Already told her networking groups. Already committed publicly to this mysterious new identity.

The imposter syndrome hit like a freight train. She was supposed to be the expert, but she was completely clueless. So she did what every terrified high-achiever does when they're in over their head: she found a "guinea pig" and learned by doing.

"I said, I'm looking for a Guinea pig. One person who would like me to help them... she taught me how to coach because I got to practice a lot on her."

Discover how a woman who spent years pivoting between businesses finally found her calling by having the courage to fake it until she made it - and why your biggest imposter syndrome moment might be exactly what you need to find your true expertise.
