I help professionals break free from #ImposterSyndrome and lead a life full of purpose and inspiration.

🌟 Are you a successful leader who feels like your accomplishments still aren’t good enough?

🌟 Do you shrug off compliments and recognition with the wave of a hand saying, “Oh, anybody could have done it!" 

💡You’ve followed the playbook—studied the experts, sought mentorship, and continue to get recognized and promoted. Yet, a nagging question remains: “Do I truly belong?” “Am I really good enough to be here?”  

🎭 If you’ve ever felt like an imposter in a room full of accomplished professionals, you’re not alone. 

🚨 Imposter Syndrome is real. And you’re in great company. Research shows nearly 90% of successful individuals experience it. But here’s the truth: thriving isn’t about silencing that inner critic; it’s about understanding its roots and channeling its energy to unlock your potential. Silencing your inner doubts by actively responding and not reacting to your thoughts and feelings.

💼 With over 30 years of executive experience at Fortune 500 companies like Charles Schwab, Adobe Systems, and Bristol-Myers Squibb, I’ve experienced firsthand how Imposter Syndrome can affect leadership, culture, and performance. As someone who has lived with Imposter Syndrome for most of my life, I’ve learned how to turn my inner doubt into a real *superpower.* 

📖 As the creator of the V.O.I.C.E. personal development model and author of "Find Your VOICE as a Leader™”, (2016, Aviva Publishing), I provide actionable tools to help leaders like you embrace authenticity and expand into your full potential. I’m also privileged to coach at The Wharton Business School, where I guide MBA executives to discover clarity, confidence, and true authentic leadership.

✨ My journey—one that includes thriving in sobriety since 1991—has taught me this: Your greatest growth lies beyond self-doubt. Beyond limiting beliefs. Beyond feeling like a fraud. And when you stop “faking it” and start *facing it,* success becomes intentional, inspirational, and deeply fulfilling, to yourself and the communities that you serve. 

✔️ Ready to transform your inner critic into your greatest ally? Let’s work together to amplify your authentic leadership and build a life and career aligned with your values. Connect with me on LinkedIn or reach out at:  paul@paulnlarsen.com.

❓Now, isn’t it time for you to feel CONFIDENT, INSPIRED and FREE as well❓
