On this episode of GoalChat, host Debra Eckerling talks about Imposter Syndrome with Stephanie O’Brien of Coach Client Connection, board-certified hypnotherapist and coach Karen Ross, and Jim Swan of Pinetree Partners. Stephanie, Karen, and Jim share their experiences with imposter syndrome, along with tips for mindset, wellbeing, and striving for success.

What is Imposter Syndrome

Jim: The knee-jerk desire to compare yourself with others you feel are superior

Stephanie: Worrying that you are not as good as you say you are

Karen: Self-talk; wondering, ‘Who am I to help this person?’

Goals

Karen: Look in the mirror every day and say, ‘I love you!’

Stephanie: Make a list of all the things you know what to do that your ideal client does not

Jim: Edit an input source; for instance spend less time on Facebook and Instagram (reduce toxic environments and comparisons).

Final Thoughts

Jim: Be kind

Stephanie: Different people have different styles; that’s how you find your fit as a coach and in finding new clients

Karen: Keep kindness going. It makes a difference
