In this episode I talk to Dr. Katherine Iscoe about her research on the differences between self-worth, self-esteem and confidence and how self-respect becomes the foundation of a healthy and meaningful life.
Introduction
Dr Katherine Iscoe is a keynote speaker, author, board member, former CEO of a dual-listed public company, academic mentor and summa cum laude graduate with multiple scholarships and awards.
Despite these achievements and perceived public success, Katherine’s mental health was teetering on collapse; she hid a debilitating eating disorder for over two decades, persevered through severe depression and thoughts of suicide and most recently quit 'life' and her career during a emotional breakdown.
It is precisely these deeply personal experiences that have shaped Katherine's latest research focus: the inseparable connection between self-respect and self-leadership, because at the core of her struggle for inner peace, it was a lack of self-respect that influenced her self-destructive tendencies.
Her latest research reveals that self-respect enables a leader to push the limits of their potential by recognising their inherent worth and significance, enabling them to embrace calculated risks and break barriers, fostering a deep belief in their ability to make a meaningful impact. Self-respecting leaders also communicate with more confidence, exhibit greater resilience, live free of imposter syndrome, and wholeheartedly embrace a growth mindset.
