It’s been a year at my new job, and one thing I have struggled with at the beginning was doubting my worth. Imposter syndrome knocked hard on my door!

According to Cambridge Dictionary: “Imposter Syndrome is feeling that your achievements are not real or you don’t deserve praise or success”.

I had been doing the same role for a couple of years now, and the only difference is I moved into consulting services, which meant working with multiple clients at the same time.

Each day, I felt as if I had no clue what I was doing until the day I decided to change the narrative of doubting myself. Everyone saw something great in my work, so I figured it was high time I believed in myself.

Six ways to overcome Imposter Syndrome at work

• Say something positive to yourself, for example:” Anu, you’re awesome; you have everything required to make this work”.
• Remember that you were employed because you have the skill required to do the job.
• Stop trying to be perfect and liked by everyone.
• Invest in self-development.
• Choose to be confident.
• Have people that can cheer you up outside of work and a network of supporters at work.

Remember that you’re smart and you’ve got everything required to conquer the world.

Have a great week.
