If there's good evidence for your assertion, we may choose to continue believing it or brainstorm ways to address it. Next, I ask things that are designed to get you to recognize the evidence that you do or do not have to support your impostor assertion. Do you think that success and failure prove anything about you?.Explain why you believe you are in this role or your organization is relying on you to accomplish this objective.What did you do that contributed to that success? What factors outside of yourself contributed to that success? Tell me about a time when you've felt successful.Describe a successful person in this role.Essentially, these are assertions we make and believe to be true even if there isn't evidence to support them. I want to know the narrative that you tell yourself about success and about who you are. To begin, I want to help you discover the reasons WHY you feel like an imposter. I want to share with you some tips from the process that I use when working with people to overcome the emotional roadblock of impostor syndrome. Our thoughts and emotions in harmony to create meaningful action.
So the work that I do with Right Brain Journeys is to bring us more to the center to harness the synergistic power of aligning our logic and emotions. To use a metaphor of the brain, there is a disconnect between the left (know) and right (feel) hemispheres. With impostor syndrome there is a disconnect between what we KNOW about ourselves and what we FEEL about ourselves. You feel like a fraud or a failure despite the evidence that you are actually skilled, competent and successful. Impostor syndrome is when you feel incompetent, inadequate, insecure. Through this work, I have consistently found a common roadblock amongst my clients and students that is preventing them from moving ahead. We combine 1 part Psychology + 1 part Sociology + 1 part Anthropology to unlock the secrets that drive human behavior. My work is grounded in the social science field of Interpersonal Communication. Uncover the reasons WHY we do what we do and THEN engineer the behavioral change through strategic KNOWLEDGE and EMOTION.Īs an award-winning expert in culture and communication, I've been helping professionals and soon-to-be-graduates for more than two decades become better connected on a human to human level with themselves and others. That's what leads us to the core of a sustainable transformation. A journey of self-discovery and awareness.
