056 Imposter Syndrome

In today’s episode Kate talks about Imposter Syndrome and some suggestions on how to manage it. Here are some of the key takeaways from this episode:

“The persistent inability to believe that one’s success is deserved or has to be legitimately achieved as a result of ones own efforts or skills”.
Constant self doubt that “I am not good enough” or “I am going to get found out as not the brilliant person they think I am”.
Most women (and some men) experience this.
Many very successful women have openly talked about Imposter Syndrome.
Talking with others can help.
How Imposter Syndrome causes self sabotage.
Identify where the self-doubts stem from – What voice do you hear when listening to them.
Give the inner voices a name – thank them and move on.
Recognise and acknowledge your achievements.
