Cindy Esliger explores imposter syndrome in this episode - that persistent fear that people will somehow find out we don’t know what we’re doing. We all have it. Cindy breaks down exactly what it is, the common symptoms, and then lays out strategies to help us overcome that self doubt.Cindy defines imposter syndrome as a psychological pattern in which we doubt our skills, intelligence, or competence to the point of fearing we’ll be exposed as a fraud. There are five common symptoms of imposter syndrome, which she lists as 1. Wondering why you were selected 2. Believing anyone could do what you’re doing 3. Disregarding compliments 4. Being convinced you don’t have enough experience, and 5. Working late on your own to avoid asking for help or being a bother. However, according to Cindy, feeling like an imposter is a necessary part of trying something new. Fear of failure, or even fear of success, is something everyone experiences. Rising above that fear is necessary growth for moving forward. Women also frequently feel like imposters in male dominated fields, but external societal perceptions of female incompetence are not personal and your qualifications earn you a place at the table. Cindy shares six key strategies to help combat those feelings of inadequacy so you can rise to success.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide for No One Has It All Figured OutAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger - Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
