Do you want to stop feeling like a fraud in your career?
“I have written eleven books, but each time I think, uh-oh, they’re going to find me out now.”
Maya Angelou.
If you feel like you are going to be found out that you are not good enough, you are not alone! It is estimated that 70% of us either have, will, or currently are struggling with the Imposter Syndrome. The term was first coined in 1978 by two psychologists, Dr Pauline Clance and Dr Suzanne Imes, when they found that high performing women, no matter their accomplishments, still remained convinced they didn’t deserve their success or accolades and that they were, in fact, a fraud. These successful, amazing women dismissed their successes as luck or some kind of deception on their part in convincing someone they were better than they actually are. It’s not unique to women however, men are just as likely to experience imposter syndrome – it’s a human thing.
Feelings of being an imposter can ebb and flow over time – with some periods of your life where you feel very much like an imposter, and other times you will have the inner confidence in your abilities. You can also experience feeling like an imposter in one area of your life, for example, your career, but feel totally confident in another, for example, your relationships.
