Confronting Imposter Syndrome and Developing Community Innovation
We are delighted to have Fiona Descoteaux, Founder & CEO Innovate Communities as our first guest joining us as we get kick started into our new season.
Fiona has a wealth of experience working across non profit organisations and the local development and social enterprise sectors. Innovate Communities works within communities to create solutions that lead to sustainable and long term improvements within the locality.
On this episode of the Fitvision Podcast Mark and Fiona discuss the all too common cognitive barrier of imposter syndrome. In many cases this can be debilitating when you are trying to progress in your career but there are ways to overcome it which we identify today. Also we look at where our passion comes from and how we can use that passion to push ourselves onto greater heights.

A more holistic approach to public sector challenges is required that values outcomes over processes, embraces diverse voices and inputs, and looks at the whole system instead of its separate parts. By adopting systems approaches, policymakers can focus on areas where change can have the greatest impact and fundamentally transform the policy-making process.
Today’s challenges are comprehensive and systemic, requiring a response that reflects similar principles. A portfolio-based approach is one such response, which seeks to develop, test, learn, and scale a suite of complementary interventions that can shift complex systems by focusing on multiple intervention points. This approach is a platform for strategic learning and action, helping to understand problem dynamics and identify effective interventions over time.
