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...

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.

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...
info_outlineCoaching seems to be ubiquitous these days, but do you really understand what good coaching is, what sort of coaching to choose, how it works, or how it can help you progress your career?
It’s time to go back to basics.
In this podcast episode, I get to the bottom of the coaching conundrum, and give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about Imposter Syndrome Coaching.
I cover:
- What coaching is: an explanation of the listening and questioning technique that helps you get from where you are now to where you want to be.
- What coaching is not.
- Who coaching is for.
- How coaching works.
- The best conditions for coaching.
- The value of coaching: how is it worth the money?
- What to look for in a coach.
I also explain how Imposter Syndrome Coaching ticks all these boxes in a unique coaching programme tailored just for lawyers with Imposter Syndrome.
Coaching will take you further than you can go by yourself. If you’d like to give it a try, the next class of Imposter Syndrome Coaching is coming soon. Click here to join the waitlist and find out more.
