Move beyond your roles and impostor fears into a clear, grounded sense of who you are.
In this episode, Dr Tony Weston explores identity not as a fixed label, but as a living capacity that can be fragile, fractured or fully developed. Using the Lifelong Capacities Map® (12 capacities, 48 competencies), he unpacks Identity Capacity (3.x) as four key skills: 3.1 Clear, Cohesive, Evolving Sense of Self (knowing who you are beyond your roles), 3.2 Growth Mindset & Identity Flexibility (allowing who you are to change over time), 3.3 Self-Efficacy (trusting that you can shape outcomes, not just wait for them), and 3.4 Healthy Self-Worth (rooting dignity in your being, not others’ approval). Through Sophia’s story—a high-performing CFO repeatedly passed over for CEO—Tony shows how impostor feelings are not proof of failure but developmental signals, and how strengthening these four competencies turns “Who am I to be here?” into “This is who I am, and I belong in the room.”
