Tackling Imposter Syndrome

Can Bespoke Coaching Really Help?

Imposter syndrome is pervasive; even seasoned professionals who have achieved remarkable success can find themselves grappling with self-doubt and a fear of being “unmasked as a fraud”.

Promotion into a new role is exciting, but it can feel daunting and it is easy to feel overwhelmed. A whole host of new expectations and obligations placed on you can at times make you question if you truly belong in the role at all. According to recent research, 1 in 5 senior managers in the UK report regularly feeling like a fraud, highlighting that no one is immune from these feelings of self-doubt.

I’ve felt it, I've been there, I know first-hand how it feels to suffer from imposter syndrome.  

What is equally concerning is that despite its prevalence, research also highlights that 94% of those affected by imposter syndrome have not discussed it at work, often fearing that sharing these feelings would make them appear less competent.

Bespoke coaching helps by providing a confidential environment in which concerns and worries can be discussed and shared. The route cause of imposter syndrome can in turn be tackled, helping you to manage a new role effectively, improve delegation, and reduce stress, while maximising both your and your team’s potential.

Bespoke coaching also provides support in:

• building self-awareness;

• challenging negative beliefs

• developing a supportive mindset

• setting realistic goals and celebrating wins; 

• creating accountability and providing continuous feedback (ensuring you stay on track).

The ongoing support of bespoke coaching helps reinforce confidence, reducing any fear of being ‘found out’ as a fraud​. The strategies that coaching provides empower you to confront and overcome imposter syndrome, enhancing your leadership effectiveness and improving your overall wellbeing.
