Is there a voice in your head telling you that you don't know what you're doing at work? That you're not qualified for the job you have? If you've ever been riddled with doubt about your ability to fulfill a role (whether it's work, family, or anything else), then you've experienced Impostor Syndrome. This detrimental thought pattern affects up to 70% of us at one time or another. Tune in to our conversation with Michelle Braden, President and CEO of MSBCoach, for more on how to identify damaging self-doubt and how to manage it.

This episode of Finance Matters is about something that doesn't actually exist. That's right -- multitasking is a myth! So what are we talking about the whole episode long? How trying to multitask affects our productivity, our creativity, and our enjoyment of life (hint: it's not good), as well as what to do instead of multitasking.
If you've ever answered emails during a meeting, you need to listen in. If you've never checked emails in a meeting . . . be honest with yourself; you have.

Coaching involves teaching people and helping them to grow. It's different than managing, mentoring, or problem-solving, and it's a leadership style that can change your relationships and your organization. In this episode of Finance Matters, co-host Patty Marbury and Erika Priddy of Finance Outreach and Compliance talk about Coaching, which is an area of their expertise. Learn what coaching is, and how some simple coaching questions can change the way you interact with colleagues, supervisees, and even family.
