Have you ever felt like an imposter or a fraud wondering when you’ll be “found out” or when your true nature will be revealed?
Imposter Syndrome is a real thing frequently experienced by competent women, people who set impossibly high standards for themselves, or those who feel they don’t deserve the accolades and successes they’ve achieved.
Here are a couple of tips to overcoming Imposter Syndrome.
—Secrecy and shame are common denominators. Open up about your feelings to a trusted person.
—Accept compliments and praise. Believe people when they say you did a good job.
—Practice positive self-talk. It’s our “inner gremlin” who sabotages the positive image of ourselves. Push her aside.
Affirmation: I embrace my accomplishments and who I have become.
Coaching questions: In what way have you experienced Imposter Syndrome? What can you say to yourself to affirm who you are and what you’ve accomplished?
