In Your Unstoppable Greatness, Lisa and Richard Orbe-Austin
brilliantly use their clinical insights as licensed psychologists,
combined with years of working with companies, associations, and
universities, to provide an accessible book aimed at helping
individuals combat their impostor feelings to reach their highest
potential. Grounded in sound psychological principles and insights
(e.g., the impact of family codependency dynamics, the importance
of self-care) and using the 3 A's model (agency, assessment, and
actualization), the book provides an easy-to-follow, step-by-step
guide for achieving one's dreams by learning how to identify
systems, organizations and toxic work environments that serve to
reinforce feelings of impostorism. The case studies and the
exercises in the book are among the most helpful that I've
encountered. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is that I found
the exercises to be personally and professionally beneficial! I
wish this book had been available during my previous talks because
I would have recommended it as a must-have resource. Suffice it to
say that I will now be strongly recommending this book to anyone
struggling to overcome their impostor feelings! --Kevin Cokley,
Ph.D. University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor,
University of Michigan, and Editor of Making Black Lives Matter:
Confronting Anti-Black Racism

full of sharp wit, heartfelt wisdom, real-world exercises and
innovative strategies that "honors your greatness and dreams." I

Applause for Drs. Lisa and Richard Orbe-Austin's latest work, Your
Unstoppable Greatness: Break Free from Imposter Syndrome, Cultivate
Your Agency, and Achieve Your Ultimate Career Goals! The volume is
a very readable treasure trove of wisdom which guides the reader in

helpful tips and key takeaways - to assist the reader in
understanding Imposter Syndrome's impact and the workplace dynamics
that trigger it. Your Unstoppable Greatness is the right resource

personal and professional satisfaction. It will help you to
recognize and address the beliefs and behaviors that may be
blocking the success that you desire and deserve - add it to your
library today! --Dr. Corlisse Thomas, Senior Vice Chancellor at
Rutgers University
