Think about it? You’re fully qualified with many accomplishments tucked into your track record belt but this subconscious narrative continually overshadows all of the valuable work you do as a leader.

f you’re nodding your head in agreement acknowledging your inner Miss Imposter right now, please know, my good SIS, you are in good company.

Impostor syndrome is a psychological pattern in which you feel like you don’t deserve your accomplishments. You might feel like you don’t belong, don’t deserve your success, or are “out of place.”  Basically, you're a hot mess of self doubt.

Imposter syndrome is just an indicator that you are leaving your comfort zone and it's completely possible to learn how to manage it so you can move forward. You have to catch your unhelpful thoughts, and learn how to reframe them so that you can bounce back quickly.   

• Think of your accomplishments as either fluke or no big deal?  
• Have a fear of being “found out” or being exposed as inexperienced or untalented? 
• Secretly interpret criticism (even constructive criticism) as evidence of your ineptness?   
• Reluctantly ask for help?  
• Sometimes shy away from new opportunities because of nagging self-doubt?  
• Second-guess your decisions?   
• Overwork yourself to the point of burnout to prove you are “enough”?

• A first time leader who worries that you're not knowledgeable enough to lead effectively.  

• An experienced leader who has a fear of failure that has led to anxiety and perfectionism.
