Imposter Syndrome

The relationship between the Imposter Phenomenon and success is multifaceted. While it can present obstacles to achieving success by fostering self-doubt and inhibiting individuals from embracing their accomplishments, it can also drive motivation and continuous improvement.

It's important to note that experiencing self-doubt or imposter syndrome does not necessarily indicate a lack of ability or competence. Rather, it is a common experience that many high-achieving individuals face, and there are strategies and techniques that can help individuals manage these feelings and build confidence in their abilities.

Overall, research on the Impostor Phenomenon has provided valuable insights into the experiences and challenges faced by individuals who struggle with feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy. It has also highlighted the importance of creating supportive and inclusive environments in which individuals can feel valued and recognised for their contributions.

We have to understand ALL sides of the coins of perfectionism and control in order to then have a lens and perspective, an observation, of why we are doing what we are doing. We then learn to understand why we are telling ourselves the stories that we are. Likewise, we then begin to see the small steps that we can take in order to challenge and change.BUT this can be tough, which is where a coach can come in.
