Marina Ayton on Imposter Syndrome | Masters of MEDDICC
- Imposter syndrome is a sign of growth. It appears where self-awareness and growth meet. Great leaders counter it by seeing potential in people that they cannot see in themselves and creating a safe space to learn and fail.
- Passion gives hard work purpose. Working hard without genuinely caring about the customer, the outcome, and your own development is just stress. Passion is what sustains high performance.
- Shape Decision Criteria and sell the outcome. Don't be surprised by an RFP. Act as a consultant to structure Decision Criteria around your differentiators, and for transformational deals, anchor to the customer's North Star with an aligned internal team.
