Can I Stop Being an Imposter Now?

Rich Baron and Maikel Bailey Episode 271

Imposter Syndrome (IS) is a psychological pattern characterized by chronic self-doubt and a pervasive fear of being unmasked as a fraud, despite evidence of competence and success. Those experiencing Imposter Syndrome often attribute their accomplishments to external factors, discounting their abilities and contributions. 

Imposter Syndrome can have a significant impact on one's mental health and well-being, as it can create a cycle of negative self-talk and undermine confidence and self-worth. It can also lead to self-sabotaging behaviors. In leadership positions, IS can result in a  toxic work environment and a lack of trust and confidence in those leaders suffering from IS.

To overcome Imposter Syndrome, it is important to challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, practice self-compassion and acceptance, seek support from an executive coach, trusted friends, family, or a therapist, and reframe success as a result of hard work and skill rather than luck or external factors. 

Rich and Maikel discuss how to deal with Imposter Syndrome in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.
