Do you have Imposter Syndrome?
Before you jump straight to a “yes” or “no”, listen to episode 130 of Legal Imposters.
There are 10 stages of Imposter Syndrome and whether your goal is progression or simply excelling at what you do, it’s important to know the stage you’re at and how to move closer to the solution.
If you’ve never heard of Imposter Syndrome or have no idea what it is (Stage 1: Ignorance), figuring out your next step (finding out what it is) and taking that step today is pretty straight forward.
But if you’re at Rejection (stage 3) or Resignation (stage 6) for example, knowing the next step and the fastest way to get there may not be so clear.
Episode 130 is goingit change that.
As with all personal and professional development, awareness is the first and often the most powerful step. Seeing that you’ve been stuck in Resistance (stage 5) for years, for example, can be illuminating. When you know and understand, you feel motivated to do something about it. This is great news for your confidence and fantastic news for your career. You’re one step closer to getting unstuck.
And awareness isn’t the only benefit to knowing the 10 stages and understanding where you are right now. One other benefit is perspective – you’re going to stop seeing youir Imposter Syndrome in isolation, and start seeing it in the broader context of the Imposter Syndrome experience as a whole, and how your relationship with it can (and will) shift over time.
Which brings me to the biggest benefit of all -hope. If you think Imposter Syndrome is all about negativity and suffering, the 10 stages of Imposter Syndrome shows you otherwise. You’ll discover that it’s possible not just to overcome Imposter Syndrome, but to be Empowered (stage 9) by it and even Enlightened (stage 10) by it – something you never could have imagined. Whichever stage you’re at, you’re about to discover that you your experience of Imposter Syndrome can be a positive and uplifting one when you have the right tool.
I know this because I’ve done it.
And if I can do it, so can you.
Happy listening.
