Episode #85 Redline through your work

When they constantly redline and correct your work, what do you do? What do you make it mean?

The mistake I see you making is taking it to mean something about you- that you’re not good enough, that you don’t deserve to be where you are and that any minute now you’re going to be found out.

This is classic imposter syndrome and if you don’t have a way to overcome it, it will undermine your confidence, sabotage your performance and hold you back from fulfilling your potential.

In this episode I explain how this can happen and exactly how to avoid it so you learn from all those redlines through your work vs. being undermined by them.
