Here's how you can conquer imposter syndrome with confidence.

In my experience, to overcome any problem/issue it is important to accept that it exists. A lot of times we try to brush it under the carpet, thinking out of sight will be out of mind. I understand it could be hard but self awareness is a very powerful tool and if you continuously aren't able to accept then I suggest getting a Coach is the best investment you can do for yourself.

How do you know when feelings of insecurity are imposter syndrome? When doubt creeps in about your ability to perform with confidence in a particular area, you must remember who you are and why you have been placed in this position in the first place. If you are being called to perform a task, it’s because the time is right for you to do it. Either you have been asked because others believe you are qualified or you have stepped up because, at some level, you believe in yourself. You can tell the doubt is imposter syndrome because it does not match up with the way others see you, nor does it align with the way you see yourself. Think about the evidence of your qualifications and successful past experiences. Don’t let doubt stand in your way.

Imposter syndrome drives humans to take actions aligned with fitting into a given environment. Remember to be yourself. Let yourself adapt thru successes and failures. Learn and develop. Most often, it’s normal to feel imposter syndrome. One may embrace this feeling as it propels them towards actions that result in eventual inclusion and contribution.

In my experience, conquering imposter syndrome involves 2 steps: 1. Acknowledge Achievements: Recognize and celebrate specific accomplishments. For example, keeping a record of positive feedback and revisiting it can help counter feelings of inadequacy and remind you of your capabilities. 2. Seek Support and Mentorship: Reach out to mentors and colleagues for guidance and support. For instance, seeking advice from a more experienced colleague when feeling overwhelmed can provide valuable insights and reassurance, helping you realize that feeling unsure is a normal part of the learning process.

How not to talk about it: You: "Oh, I'm so unsure of myself!" Them: "Not at all, you are such an accomplished professional!" You: "Oh, if you really knew... you're just saying that to make me feel better. Choose somebody that can listen to you and reflect back what you are saying so that you can hear what you're saying from a different perspective. Listen to the story you are telling yourself as if you were hearing about somebody else. If you have the good fortune to have a talk through it with someone who has worked through this syndrome, tell yourself: "Even if I don't know how, at this moment, it sure sounds humanly possible to retrain this mental and emotional reaction!" Choose well and be aware of oversharing.

Positive affirmations are a proven way to boost your confidence and motivation and to help reframe your thoughts. Write down 3-4 positive statements about your abilities, strengths, and achievements and read those out loud to yourself whenever you feel negative thoughts starting to creep in.

Cultivating a positive mindset is key, talk nice to yourself every day and whenever negative thoughts flood your mind. Train your subconscious mind to be grateful and always affirm yourself. What you believe will always come to fruition.

For me, breaking my big goals into a lot of small steps helped me build my confidence as I made progress. It was also helpful so that I could make a change if something felt off. Confidence is the key to conquering imposter syndrome, so set yourself tiny tasks that you can knock out. Keep track of all of the tiny tasks so that you can look back and celebrate all the little wins on your road toward goal achievement.

Set realistic goals and make them small challenges so they give you more credibility for yourself when you reach then! Be mindful about the specific ways you are dealing with fears, doubts and worries as you go forward and do your goals even if they are daunting or scary.

It is so important to boost your "failure tolerance". If you don't get the result you want, you do get really high quality feedback to study what to change or tweak. Anyway, if you fail, you'll will be -- literally -- in great company, as we know how often failures are part of the greatest success stories.

Establishing what is causing you to feel like an imposter is helpful to know how to challenge those feelings. Do you see patterns, is it only around certain individuals or topics? Ah yourself why? Do you have hard wired standards of what you think someone in your position you have and you don't have them? Are you less skilful in some topics ? Or do you have low self esteem and need to work with a professional in overcoming that.

Now, isn't it curious that there are people around with the Dunning-Kruger effect, where they believe they are an expert but they're not? Wouldn't it be nice to offer the world yourself as a contribution for real?
