Episode #107 Labouring Over Emails

Do you labour over emails?

Your approach to writing emails may seem like a small thing, but how you write them and how long it takes you speaks volumes about how you’re showing up to your work.  When it’s a laborious process that takes longer than it should, it means you are showing up from some form of not being enough, and that points to Imposter Syndrome.

Fixing this is easier than you might think. You don’t need a confidence-building course, you just need a strategy for getting out of your own head when your Imposter Syndrome is triggered.

In this episode I explain why you are always trying to make your emails perfect, how it is stopping you from doing your best work and how to use your Imposter Speech to change that, so you stop overthinking, stop overworking and start getting the recognition you deserve.
