Description
Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their own accomplishments and feel like a fraud, even when there is no evidence to support this belief. It can be particularly common among high-achievers or those in positions of responsibility. Some signs that may indicate imposter syndrome include:
1. Self-doubt: Constantly questioning your abilities and skills, feeling like you are not good enough despite evidence to the contrary.
2. Fear of Failure: Being afraid to fail and feeling like any mistake or setback will confirm that you are a fraud.
3. Discounting Success: Minimizing your accomplishments and attributing them to external factors such as luck or timing, rather than acknowledging your own skills and hard work.
4. Perfectionism: Setting excessively high standards for yourself and feeling like you have to meet them, even if it means sacrificing your own well-being.
5. Overworking: Feeling like you have to work harder than everyone else to prove your worth, and neglecting self-care and rest.
This course is an overview of imposter syndrome and in it you'll deep dive into how it manifests for you, learn about the myths surrounding it and take away some tools to help you keep it in check and overcome it.
