The Caroline Flanagan Podcast

Why do you need to change the way you think about career progression goals? Many of You HAVE no career progression goals at all.   You’re floating along  You have no intention or direction  Maybe it hasn’t occurred to you that you should.  A lot of you have this idea that career progression is only about getting a promotion.  Some of you do have a career progression goal, but it’s not the right one.  You have a career progression goal, it’s the right one, but the way you’re chasing after that goal is going to make it unsustainable when...

With all this talk of a cost of living crisis and recession, it’s tempting to hunker down and play it small.  But if you want to keep your career on track during difficult times you need to do the opposite.   It’s more important than ever that you take control of your career, by: Being visible  Adding value, and  Building relationships.  I’m not here to scaremonger or to try to make you worried. But in turbulent times, when there are so many things in the world that are out of your control, one thing you can have power over is the direction and progression...

The Caroline Flanagan Podcast

If you think progressing your career when you have Imposter Syndrome is all about the action, think again.   It's the emotions that drive your actions that count. Why? Because emotion lies behind everything we do.  Because FEAR is the emotion behind your Imposter Syndrome, driving overworking, overthinking, playing small and self sabotage – which are the behaviours keeping you stuck and stopping you progressing the way you want or need to.  Because if you want to progress, you need to a) be AWARE of the emotions that don’t serve you and b) learn how to TURN ON those...

The Caroline Flanagan Podcast

You can’t short cut your way to confidence.   Faking it ‘til you make it may help you out when you need a quick fix, but it is not a long term strategy for building confidence.  It’s often one of the ‘tricks’ you’re advised to use to help you ’overcome’ your Imposter Syndrome - a mindset tactic that encourages you to do something you’re terrified or reluctant to do. It works on the premise that if you ‘pretend’ to be able to do something often enough, or for long enough, you grow the capability to actually do it.  Sounds good, right? The problem with...

Episode #142 Taking Credit for Your Work show art Episode #142 Taking Credit for Your Work

The Caroline Flanagan Podcast

If you are given praise or positive feedback for your work, do you enthusiastically accept it?  Or do you find yourself attributing your success to someone or something else? Or perhaps keep your wins to yourself? Do you, in effect, refuse to take credit for your achievements? When you have Imposter Syndrome, you feel compelled to avoid being exposed as the fraud you think you are. This means you indulge in Self-Sabotage, one of the 4 negative behaviours (or as I call them) that characterise Imposter Syndrome. Refusing to take credit for, or capitalise on, your successes, is a sure-fire...

The podcast episode this time is a recording of last week’s free Webinar, How to Progress Your Law Career (without fixing your Imposter Syndrome).

You’ve tried all the tips and tricks. Power-posing. Faking it 'til you make it. Telling yourself you deserve to be here and that your success isn't down to luck.  

But none of them have worked. Not in a transformative way. They give you a boost, but the results never last. You always end up back here:

  • Overworking. 
  • Overthinking. 
  • Playing small. 
  • Sabotaging your success. 

You’re looking for a solution that will solve your Imposter Syndrome for good, so you can progress your career and get more of the recognition you deserve. 

That solution is available to you now. 

To stop Imposter Syndrome holding you back in your career, you must change the way you’re thinking about it. Imposter Syndrome isn't the problem you think it is. It’s just the puzzle of who you are.  You don't need to fix it to progress your career. You just need to solve it. 

In this episode, I explain how. 

Here's what you'll learn:  

  1. Why your attempts to get rid of Imposter Syndrome aren’t working for you, and what you should do instead.  
  2. The 4 workplace behaviours which are holding you back and threatening to derail your career.
  3. How to normalise your Imposter Syndrome using Imposter Syndrome Mapping and how to create your career progression road map. 
  4. How to process negative emotions like fear, doubt and anxiety without them holding you hostage. 
  5. What the Imposter Speech is, and how to use it as a process for knowing who you are and a tool for trusting you are enough, so you can follow your Imposter Syndrome all the way to achieving your goal. 

This is the strategy I teach in Imposter Speech Coaching – a career progression coaching programme for lawyers with Imposter Syndrome. When you implement this strategy, you’ll have everything you need not only to progress your career to the next level, but to progress your career at every level. This means:

  • You'll be more productive and efficient, so you’ll perform at a higher level. 
  • You’ll have the courage to be more visible, so people know you and see your value. 
  • You’ll feel calmer and more in control, instead of constantly feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
  • You’ll showcase your value, without being afraid of being “that person”.
  • You’ll set better boundaries, so you avoid the risk of burning out. 
  • You’ll seize more opportunities. 
  • You’ll learn from negative feedback instead of making it about you. 

There’s still time to apply for the next class of Imposter Syndrome Coaching starting in July 2022, but you need to hurry. Enrolment ends tomorrow – Friday 17th June, 2022 – at midnight (BST). CLICK HERE to go straight to the application form.
