Imposter? Me?

Your business is helping others.

We all know the importance of building relationships. We know that connecting with your clients makes them far more likely to become repeat buyers, and at a more basic level – it just makes the days more enjoyable. If you look forward to helping and making a difference, rather than making a sale, you and your team will want to engage more and others will come to you rather than your competition. The connection is key.

Having this relationship with your clients, at every level, also goes a long way to tackling Imposter Syndrome. How can you not feel good enough if you are there to help? Finding out the answer to a tricky question, when done to be helpful, feels so much more achievable than feeling anxious about being asked something you don’t know, and dreading a conversation. Imposter Syndrome was first explored in the 70’s and it hasn’t lost any of its perceived power. Getting into the habit of just saying ‘thanks’ when you get a compliment will be an easy start to overcoming your I.S. Trusting the judgement of your employer or supporters also helps to qualify your status.

The more connections we make with our team and clients, the more opportunities we have to communicate and take the anxiety out of situations. We’re all in business to provide something for someone. We can allow time to talk about how impressed we are with others, so allow those comments to exist from others.

Imposter Syndrome can really hinder an entire team. Finding techniques and new habits to reframe your thoughts will allow you to get back to taking opportunities and finding new ways to help your clients, and increase your successes.
