1 Recognize the signs

The first step to overcoming imposter syndrome is to acknowledge that you have it. Imposter syndrome can manifest in different ways, such as feeling like a fraud, fearing failure or criticism, comparing yourself to others, minimizing your accomplishments, or avoiding challenges. If you notice any of these signs, try to identify the underlying beliefs or thoughts that are causing them. For example, you might think that you're not creative enough, that you need more education or training, or that you got lucky or had help from others. These are all examples of cognitive distortions, or irrational and negative ways of thinking.

My thought on managing imposter syndrome is to understand it fully, what causes it but also what works against it. Understand your trigger points. The more you can understand yourself the more you can help yourself. My advice is always to self develop. Read books, listen to podcasts, do online courses, these are all things that will develop you as a person which in tail will lesson your imposter syndrome.

In my experience, if someone has employed you, then they see someone they believe in, most good employees will ask you how you are doing & guide you should you need help, don’t be afraid to confide in someone if you’re unsure, whether your a business owner or employed, we all need a bit of reassurance & sometimes it can come from the least expected source, and also remember you’re not alone, lots of people go through doubts & challenges , regardless of their circumstances or position.

> Imposter syndrome whispers lies. > Fact-check those feelings by listing your skills and accomplishments. > Reframe self-doubt: "I can learn this" instead of "I'm not good enough." > Acknowledge your achievements, big or small. Did you solve a problem? Did someone praise your work? Savor these moments to build confidence. > Talk to a trusted friend, mentor, or therapist. > Sharing your struggles can normalize them and gain valuable insights. You're not alone!

2 Challenge the distortions

Once you identify the cognitive distortions that are fueling your imposter syndrome, you need to challenge them with evidence and logic. For example, if you think that you're not creative enough, you can list all the projects that you've designed or contributed to, and highlight the aspects that showcase your creativity. If you think that you need more education or training, you can review your qualifications, certifications, and feedback from your clients or colleagues. If you think that you got lucky or had help from others, you can acknowledge the role of your hard work, talent, and skills in your success. By challenging the distortions, you can reframe your perspective and recognize your value and worth as a commercial interior designer.

3 Seek support and feedback

Another way to overcome imposter syndrome is to seek support and feedback from others who understand your situation and can offer you constructive and positive input. You can reach out to your mentors, peers, or friends in the commercial interior design industry and share your feelings and challenges with them. They can provide you with advice, encouragement, and validation, as well as point out your strengths and areas for improvement. You can also ask for feedback from your clients or supervisors on your work and performance, and use it to improve your skills and confidence. By seeking support and feedback, you can build trust and rapport with others, and learn from their experiences and insights.

4 Celebrate your achievements

A final way to overcome imposter syndrome is to celebrate your achievements, no matter how big or small they are. You can keep a portfolio of your work, a journal of your accomplishments, or a collection of testimonials or awards that reflect your impact and contribution as a commercial interior designer. You can also reward yourself with something that makes you happy, such as a treat, a hobby, or a break. By celebrating your achievements, you can acknowledge your efforts and results, and boost your self-esteem and motivation.

Imposter syndrome can be a common and challenging issue for many commercial interior designers, but it doesn't have to hold you back. By recognizing the signs, challenging the distortions, seeking support and feedback, and celebrating your achievements, you can overcome imposter syndrome and boost your confidence as a commercial interior designer. You have the skills, abilities, and passion to succeed in your field, and you deserve to feel proud of yourself and your work.
