It can affect anyone, but especially those who face high expectations, pressure, or competition. Imposter syndrome can undermine your confidence, performance, and well-being. However, feedback can be a powerful tool to help you overcome it. Here are some ways to use feedback effectively to combat imposter syndrome.

1 Seek constructive feedback

One of the reasons why imposter syndrome persists is that you tend to focus on your flaws, mistakes, or gaps, and ignore or minimize your strengths, successes, or contributions. To break this cycle, you need to seek constructive feedback from others who can give you an objective and balanced perspective on your work, your value, and your potential. Constructive feedback is not just praise or criticism, but specific, actionable, and supportive information that helps you improve and grow.

Feedback can be a great way to support people to acknowledge their strengths and how they've achieved them and help them to overcome imposter syndrome. The best feedback is constructive and specific allowing the individual to see their strengths fully.

Feedback can be super helpful in supporting someone overcome imposter syndrome - it provides validation and perspective. Imposter syndrome often stems from a lack of self-confidence and a fear of being exposed as a fraud. Feedback from others can serve as validation, showing that their skills and strengths are recognised and valued by others. Additionally, constructive and trusted feedback can provide a different perspective on someone's achievements, helping them see their accomplishments more objectively and shine light on any thinking errors or limiting beliefs they may need to tackle.

2 Accept feedback graciously

Another reason why imposter syndrome thrives is that you tend to reject or dismiss positive feedback, and amplify or internalize negative feedback. To overcome this tendency, you need to accept feedback graciously, without arguing, deflecting, or rationalizing. Accepting feedback does not mean that you agree with everything, but that you acknowledge and appreciate the effort and intention of the feedback giver. Accepting feedback also means that you reflect on it and use it to inform your decisions and actions.

Imposter syndrome makes it very difficult for people to look at their qualities and accomplishments. In fact, they are quick to dismiss them as they believe they don't deserve to be appreciated or complimented. A crucial factor in working through this is to learn to accept compliments graciously with a thank you rather than dismissing, making some joke or discrediting yourself.

3 Give feedback generously

A third reason why imposter syndrome affects you is that you tend to isolate yourself and compare yourself to others who seem more confident, competent, or successful. To counter this feeling, you need to give feedback generously to others who may also struggle with imposter syndrome, or who may benefit from your insights, experience, or encouragement. Giving feedback is not only a way to help others, but also a way to boost your own self-esteem, credibility, and relationships.

I remember being taught about the 'sandwich technique' in a new manager training course, about giving feedback to your team. Here's how it works:- 1. Top piece of bread: Give a genuine positive comment first. 2. Sandwich filling: then deliver the feedback in a compassionate way. 3. Bottom piece of bread: finish with another positive comment about the individual. I still use it in all sorts of feedback situations. At work, parenting, friends and even family!

4 Use feedback as a learning opportunity

A fourth reason why imposter syndrome holds you back is that you tend to fear failure, rejection, or exposure, and avoid taking risks, challenges, or opportunities. To overcome this fear, you need to use feedback as a learning opportunity, not as a judgment or a threat. Feedback can help you identify your areas of improvement, your goals, and your strategies. Feedback can also help you celebrate your achievements, recognize your progress, and reward your efforts.

5 Seek feedback regularly

A fifth and final reason why imposter syndrome can be hard to shake off is that you tend to rely on your own distorted or limited perception of yourself, your work, and your environment. To change this perception, you need to seek feedback regularly, not just once in a while, or when you are forced to. Seeking feedback regularly can help you create a habit of self-awareness, self-improvement, and self-compassion. Seeking feedback regularly can also help you build trust, rapport, and collaboration with others who can support you and challenge you.
