Episode #90 Pick Yourself Back Up

May 11, 2021

I’ve been asked for advice on how to pick yourself back up when your Imposter Syndrome causes you to sabotage opportunities. Is this something you struggle with?

The most effective strategy for coping with setbacks and failures, is to have the structures in place before these things happen. That’s one of the reasons why the Imposter SpeechTM is so powerful. Because you’ve already done the work in creating it, you know exactly where to find it, and which bit to draw on, when you need it.

In this episode I walk you step by step through a process I would use to coach a client to pick themselves back up again. You’ll discover the importance of separating out the facts from your thoughts, emotions and actions, and then the transformational way your Imposter Speech gives you the motivation, courage and resourcefulness to get back up again.
