"I always infuse play into my keynotes because neuroscience has shown us that when we add play, the number of repetitions needed to form a new habit are dramatically reduced, and you become more memorable."
- Jen Coken"This experience of imposter syndrome or imposter phenomenon is a phenomenology. In other words, it's as lived and experienced. (...) Every person I know, every person I've ever coached, has some experience of imposter syndrome."
- Jen Coken"Imposter syndrome only happens when we're playing on the skinny branches."
