EARLY CAREER & IMPOSTER SYNDROME
You can be qualified for the role and still feel like you’re trying to prove you deserve it.
Starting a profession can change the stakes quickly. You’re expected to make decisions, tolerate scrutiny, learn fast, and project confidence while privately wondering whether everyone else knows something you don’t.
I help you seperate being new from being inadequate.
APPROACH
We’ll look at the standards you’re using to judge yourself, what happens when you make a mistake or don’t know something, how you respond to feedback and comparison, and how to develop confidence that isn’t dependent on never feeling certain.
REASONS CLIENTS COME
Imposter syndrome
Feeling as though your accomplishments somehow don’t count.
Fear of being exposed
Worrying that a mistake will reveal you’re less capable than people think.
Comparison
Assuming everyone around you is more confident or further ahead.
Performance anxiety
Pressure to prove yourself when you’re being evaluated.
Perfectionism
Feeling that being new doesn’t give you permission not to know.
Professional identity
Figuring out who you are once the training ends and the responsibility becomes yours.
