Have you ever considered the essential components necessary to overcome imposter syndrome?
In this Lemon Drop, we uncover the strategies for kicking imposter syndrome, and explore three fundamental factors: taking radical responsibility, fostering self-confidence, and embracing faith in a greater purpose you're striving to fulfill.
The Slice: Confronting Imposter Syndrome Head-On
As I’ve started engaging much more in interviews, public speaking events, mentoring, and expanding my network, a question I get asked often is “How do you overcome imposter syndrome?” I am no professional at this, AT ALL, as I am still working through this myself but I have found strategies that have helped me turn the question “why me” into “why not”. In order for this perspective shift to take place I’ve had to take radical responsibility for my thoughts and actions, cultivate self-confidence, and nurture my faith in a larger purpose. A lot of experiences I write about in my book talk about my journey that allowed me to get to the point where I am able to do all three of these things even on my worst days. Imposter syndrome has not gone away but it does not hinder me and I think that is the biggest takeaway.
