I finally decided to name the elephant in the room. It is IMPOSTER SYNDROME and 70% of us suffer from it, although you wouldn't know because people are often embarrassed to admit it.
When I first heard about it, it was like someone finally giving a name to the thing I was feeling. I was relieved to know I wasn't crazy and this thing did exist. Once I was able to give it a name, I set out to work through it.
It is a journey with no real destination because it is always there, but you can certainly learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Talking through ways to start battling imposter syndrome on this podcast includes nine tips:
- Find your imposter syndrome origins
- Embrace your accomplishments
- Know your skills and abilities
- Don’t blow off compliments
- Realize your automatic negative thoughts
- Tell your trauma
- Get a coach – study, read, listen to podcasts that will help you move through it
- Good self-care
- Develop a community that speaks the truth to you
