Description
As a Fortune 500 Executive Business Leader, U.S. Marine veteran and life coach, one would expect Mike Kitko to walk through life bursting with confidence. Instead, at the height of his professional success, he believed he was worthless. Kitko was an overweight, over stressed, overachieving, alcoholic business executive on the brink of divorce. From the outside he appeared to have all the pillars of a successful life. On the inside he was constantly questioning his abilities, and his work suffered in turn. His book is a warts-and-all memoir/life workbook that is a vulnerable exposé about past failures in his business and personal life. Kitko reveals his path to discovering the ways in which people “fake it” to avoid appearing incapable. After addressing what brought him to his breaking point and transforming his own life, Kitko teaches readers how they too can move past old beliefs and routines. Through his honed methods of approachable meditation, exercise, reflection through journaling, and many more life-improving practices, The Imposter in Charge is the new manual for decreasing self-doubt and taking on any challenge.

Featured Reviews

I got a review digital copy of this book from NetGalley. When i was reading this book, I found myself thinking, this is me and my story - of thinking of myself as an imposter or not understanding why people value what i bought to the table (as I thought it was obvious, but not really that obvious to others).
My journey to move from being that imposter to being more authentic and taking myself and my skills seriously started a few years back.
In this book, the author shares his journey and many of his coaching clients' journey in moving from thinking of ourselves as an imposter to considering ourselves a "MISFIT".
Most of his stories are relatable. The book is easy to read and quick to read. But in some places, I thought that he could have gone a bit deeper but only scratches the surface.
All said, i think this is a decent book to read if you feel like an imposter who doesnt deserve the success you have gotten so far.
