Episode notes
The little voice that tells you to play small, to stay quiet, to wonder who would want to talk to you — Jamie Damsker wants you to know it never goes away. Not after 10 years. Not after the corner office. Not for the senior executives he coaches who are one step ahead of imposter syndrome and relationships that are quietly falling apart. The voice doesn't disappear. What changes is your relationship with it — and what you choose to do in spite of it.
Jamie is a leadership performance coach and keynote speaker who has spent a decade creating clients through faith, boldness, and genuine service — with no attachment to the outcome. In this conversation, he and James talk about what it actually means to lead with faith that the right people are out there, why showing up in pure service — with no agenda beyond genuine curiosity about the person in front of you — is what naturally creates clients, and the story of a founder he spent 55 minutes with talking entirely about the founder's life before being asked, "what do you do?"
They also get into why attaching "create a client" to a conversation is exactly what makes it harder, why the deeper you go into someone's business problem the more superficial the conversation becomes, and why the coaches sitting on the sidelines are a breath of fresh air for the very people they're afraid to reach out to.
If the only thing stopping you from showing up boldly is the voice in your head — this conversation is your permission slip to act anyway.
