Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Episode Notes

In this episode, Chabidaye discusses:

• Do you have imposter syndrome? 
• The five subgroups of people affected by imposter syndrome
• The eight ways to counter that negative voice
• Reaching out and asking for support

Key Takeaways:

• Imposter syndrome is when you feel that you’re inadequate and incompetent despite evidence that proves otherwise. Maybe you haven’t thought of yourself as a fraud or imposter but perhaps you brushed off your success as luck or being in the right place at the right time. 
• There are five subgroups of people that are affected by imposter syndrome: the perfectionist, the superwoman/superman, the natural genius, the soloist and the expert. 
• Celebrate your achievements. Be kind to yourself. Be mindful of the ways you treat yourself. Learn to take mistakes in stride. Take action. Don’t count on external validation. Review what you’ve recently accomplished.Talk about what you’re feeling. 
• When we start hearing these negative things, there is no shame in reaching out and asking for support. The last thing we wanna do is to listen to that voice and go down a cycle of depression. It’s okay to put your hands up and say we need help. 

"Start getting celebration as a habit that you incorporate daily, weekly, monthly, and in the year so that you can build confidence and work on your momentum to move yourself through." —  Chabidaye Jaglal Ramnath
