Welcome to Dare To, a podcast about people who dare to step outside the box to pursue a meaningful, authentic life. I am John Volturo, an executive coach, speaker, and LGBTQ advocate.
Each episode, I connect with thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and individuals that have stepped into their power by daring to do something new and purposeful that has made a positive impact in their lives and the lives of others.
From overcoming a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to forging a path of their own, dare to will feature stories meant to inspire and empower you to be your best self at home and work.
This episode is about Overcoming Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you don't belong, that you don't deserve what you have, or that you're going to be discovered as a fake, phony, or fraud anytime now. As an Executive Coach, I work with clients to help overcome Imposter Syndrome and today I provide you with the context and tools.

Ep. 3: Getting fired can be a good thing. And, Civil Rights Law Protects LGBT Workers.
Today we have Dr. Steve Yacovelli. Known as The Gay Leadership Dude, Steve has spent the past 25 years teaching others what it takes to be a great leader at companies like Disney and IBM.
As Principal at Top Dog Learning Group, Steve focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to cultivate collective leadership awesomeness.
Steve’s critically acclaimed book Pride Leadership came out in 2019, and it has received numerous awards and accolades. I’ve read it and think the tools he shares are bound to make a difference in leaders of all types.
Plus: Title VII
Well, something historic happened on June 15, 2020. The Supreme Court ruled that Title v11 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which prohibits sex discrimination applies to discrimination also based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
