This is important

I recently had the privilege of speaking to a large group of female executives about the cause and consequences of Imposter Syndrome. And while I have devoted the last ten years of my life to helping high-achieving professional women learn how to deal with this, I’m always a little surprised by how many women are still struggling with this.

(Full disclosure: while walking my dog that morning, my Imposter Syndrome flared up over my presentation on Imposter Syndrome. The irony is not lost on me.)

You see, Imposter Syndrome doesn’t care about your job title or your rank. 

It doesn’t care about your many accomplishments.

In fact, it uses those against you.

During the Q&A portion of my presentation, the chat box was flooded with comments on how the self-doubt can be almost crippling.

It affects how you make decisions.

It affects organizational culture.

It affects your bottom line.

So, I wanted to ask you how Imposter Syndrome is affecting you?

What do you need help with right now?

Hit reply and please let me know.

I know you may think asking for help is a sign of weakness – I know I used to. 

I had all those “shoulds” in my head and one of the most damaging was “I should be able to figure this out myself.”

I found out I was wrong.

Asking for help is the most courageous show of strength ever.

I know. Because every time I did, it changed my life.

And I want that for you. 

I believe in you.

P.S. When you reply, tell me everything. Don’t hold back. Don’t sugar-coat it. I’ve heard it all – and it’s OK. I promise to read it and respond to it in my weekly emails so everyone can learn from it. And don’t worry – I’ll protect your privacy like a mother bear protects her cubs. 

P.P.S. If you know you’re ready to quit letting the imposter in your head rule your work and life, schedule a complimentary call with me today. It’s time you let the real you come out to play.
