Even the most successful leaders in the world can’t escape thoughts like:

"You don't deserve this"
"You're not good enough"
"They'll find out you're a fraud"

Yes, that’s imposter syndrome for you.

It makes every success feel like a fluke.

Every win undeserved.

Every praise a potential start to a fall.

You could rock a presentation, totally impress everyone, and still walk out thinking you’ve somehow tricked them all.

And left unchecked, it makes you:

- Overwork as a way to compensate for any deficiencies
- Dodge promotions or challenging projects because you're scared you’ll mess it up
- Downplay your hand in what your team accomplished

The first step to overcoming this? Admitting it’s there.

Once you see it for what it is, you tackle it in ways that reaffirm your value.

This has helped my clients to land those promotions and raises they were working so hard for.

Not because they changed what they do.

But because they changed how they SEE what they do.

They say, “Everyone loses when bright people play small”

And I want you to play a bigger game!

So whenever you feel imposter syndrome,

Take it as a reminder that you're pushing yourself towards greatness. 💛
