Rethinking Imposter Syndrome: Own Your Worth

C-Suite Coach recently hosted a powerful C-Suite Coach Chat on "Rethinking Imposter Syndrome," featuring expert insights from C-Suite Coaches Marcelle Fowler and Sharahn LaRue McClung, and Workplace Equity Consultant Minda Harts.

Key Takeaways:

• Imposter syndrome is a pervasive challenge: It affects 70% of people, with a disproportionate impact on women and people of color.

• Shift the blame: Recognize that imposter syndrome is often a result of systemic bias and workplace culture, not personal shortcomings.

• Embrace your authentic self: Don't let self-doubt dim your brilliance; own your worth and unique contributions.

• Develop a champion mindset: Replace limiting beliefs with affirmations of abundance and self-belief.

• Cultivate emotional agility: Recognize and accept your emotions without judgment.

• Seek clarity and feedback: Don't let ambiguous feedback fuel self-doubt; ask for specific examples and actionable advice.

• Build a brag book: Document your accomplishments and positive feedback to counter negative self-talk.

• Find your voice: Practice speaking up and advocating for yourself, even if it feels uncomfortable.

• Build community: Seek support from peers, mentors, coaches, and therapists.

• Ghost imposter syndrome: Make a conscious decision to break free from self-doubt and embrace your potential.
