Dr Clare Allen.

I know the cost of performing authority rather than carrying it.

I spent three decades in C suite roles, across community, government, infrastructure, and not for profit, and I’ve watched the imposter system run highly capable leaders at every level. Not because they lacked competence. Because their identity was never anchored at the level where it needed to be.

That is what this work addresses.
