SELF DOUBT- Do you ever feel like you’re not qualified enough to coach others? That any moment, someone will “find out” you’re not as capable as they think? You’re not alone. In this episode, we’re tackling the myth that self-doubt means you lack credibility, capability, or calling. We’ll unpack the truth about imposter syndrome, why it’s actually a sign of growth, and how you can build confidence through action.
Key Takeaways:
- Self-Doubt Doesn’t Disqualify You – Imposter syndrome is common, especially for high achievers. Feeling uncertain doesn’t mean you lack value—it means you care about doing your best.
- Your Impact Is Greater Than Your Fear – Instead of focusing on what you lack, reflect on the ways you’ve already made a difference. Keeping a "confidence folder" with past wins can remind you of your impact.
- Confidence Comes from Action – Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone. The more you show up, the more you prove to yourself (and others) that you are capable.
Listener Challenge: Take a moment today to combat imposter syndrome:
- Write down three moments when you’ve made a difference for a client.
- Reflect on how those moments demonstrate your value as a coach.
- Share one of those wins publicly—on social media, in a blog post, or with a friend—to inspire others and reinforce your confidence.
