After growing up on the floor of his parent’s restaurants, Banjo’s future was never in doubt. After working in London and Sydney, he moved to Melbourne to assume the GM role at internationally-acclaimed restaurant Attica, whilst at the same time starting a fine wine import business.

He then went on to open his own wine bar and then subsequently an Italian restaurant.

He has since sold these businesses and focusses his time growing Australia’s most personalised online wine business Good Pair Days, as well as a food/wine/hospitality forum called GROW

He has twice been awarded ‘Best Sommelier in Australia’, and is a recognised wine judge, having been Chair of the Adelaide Review Hot 100 wine show for 3 years.

His greatest achievement is becoming a father, meaning that he no longer believes in weekends and drinks coffee tri-daily.

summarised by the ever-inspiring Robert Gerrish

THE 5 IMPOSTER PROFILES

🧬 THE PERFECTIONIST -
Your goals are through the roof
You expect yourself to be 100% perfect 100% of the time.
Delegating is tough because you need to spend the next 48 years getting it right all on your own

SOLUTION: ⚗️Treat your every day as an experiment —
Perfection in your eyes will not always equate to perfection in someone else’s.
The pressure you’re putting on yourself is more likely to freeze your momentum, rather than end in the unobtainable goals you’re putting on yourself

The Perfectionists among us deserve nothing short of fulfilment in the process... To chill out a little and enjoy the ride.

You’re convinced you’re a phoney
You work overtime
You ignore your passions and throw everything into work
To the detriment of super spesh time sipping margaritas with the ones you love

SOLUTION: ⚡️ Create a folder of EPIC -
All of the sparkliest work you’ve ever graced the planet with.
Then when your sneaky Superwoman pops up asking you ‘hey, what do you know?’ You can say ‘oh, I don’t know, but you can check out THIS AMAZING ARRAY OF WORK THAT I’M PROUD OF!’

🧠 NATURAL GENIUS -
Your friends call you ‘the smart one’
You’ve never had a mentor because you believe that you must figure it all out on your own
You kick yourself when you miss the mark by a smidge

SOLUTION: 🖤 Create your Unicorn Gang —
Unicorn Gangs do have a misleading name. Because constructive feedback will always be more useful than comments like ‘it’s nice.’ But by sharing your struggles, conflicts and ideas with others who truly care, you’ll be able to get outta your own head and a whole world of possibilities are right there, ready to blow your damn mind. A lot of you are going this whole Imposter Syndrome thing on your own, and it breaks my blackened heart.

🚶🏼‍♀️SOLOIST -
You are independent. So you never ask for help.
You put your client’s needs ahead of your own, even if that means skipping lunch
SOLUTION: Take a lunch break and treat yourself to the good bread. 🤙🏽 Because it really does taste better. And because #youreworthit 💁🏻‍♀️
Your clients and customers will not love you any less for taking time to unplug, recharge and re-energise

🔮THE EXPERT -
You feel you never know enough, so you’re always upskilling...
But after the next course, you still think you need to know morrreee!

SOLUTION:
Upskilling is fab. ✔️Own your personal magic.
Your biggest secrets to feeling fulfilled and happy are hidden within your experiences, your bones, your delightful sparkly mind. ✨

Sure, take a course. Read a book. Build a castle of post-it notes. But also know that action is the secret sauce to finessing, refining and slaying.

summarised by the ever-inspiring Robert Gerrish

THE 5 IMPOSTER PROFILES

🧬 THE PERFECTIONIST -
Your goals are through the roof
You expect yourself to be 100% perfect 100% of the time.
Delegating is tough because you need to spend the next 48 years getting it right all on your own

SOLUTION: ⚗️Treat your every day as an experiment —
Perfection in your eyes will not always equate to perfection in someone else’s.
The pressure you’re putting on yourself is more likely to freeze your momentum, rather than end in the unobtainable goals you’re putting on yourself

The Perfectionists among us deserve nothing short of fulfilment in the process... To chill out a little and enjoy the ride.
