Description
In episode 78 I talk about the Imposter Syndrome crisis I had while writing my book... about Imposter Syndrome! I describe the conversation with my Speaker Coach, humorist Jeremy Nicholas, about where this particular strain of Imposter Syndrome comes from and why he found it so funny. I then share 3 key insights about Imposter Syndrome which helped me to solve this crisis so I could go on to finish the book, and which will help you to see your Imposter Syndrome in a new light. Here’s what comes up: 3 words to help you identify Imposter Syndrome: * FRAUD: you feel like a fraud
* LUCK: you feel your success is down to luck
* EXPOSURE: you’re afraid that any minute now you’ll be exposed
3 insights to help you solve your Imposter Syndrome: * Your Imposter Syndrome doesn’t care about the truth
* Imposter Syndrome does, however, contain a grain of truth
* What matters with Imposter Syndrome is not whether it’s true or untrue, but what you make it mean
