You are Enough: How to Ignite Your Self-Worth and Skyrocket Your Career

You are Enough: How to Ignite Your Self-Worth and Skyrocket Your Career

Do you ever feel that you take amazing leaps forward sometimes but then feel yourself pull back, your voice silenced within you. It’s as if you shrink back inside your safe comfort zone of discontent overpowered by a self-deprecating and inescapable inner voice; sometimes it whispers - and sometimes it shouts.... always, nagging away that you are never quite enough!

?

In the days when I worked in Investment Banking at Goldman Sachs and in Diplomatic Translation and Interpreting at the Spanish Embassy, I was consumed by Imposter Syndrome.? I was really good at my job, and on the outside I appeared to be super confident, yet I doubted myself and battled with debilitating anxieties at every turn! It took an emotional breakdown mixed up with post-natal depression for me to address the emotional traumas from childhood I had tried to bury.? Smashing through those unhelpful and untrue limiting beliefs years ago allowed me to up-level my identity and my life, and begin to thrive confidently, personally and professionally.? Over the past twenty-five years in mental health consultancy, I have helped thousands of women (and some men) to heal and grow exponentially for themselves too.

?

More than ever before, female leaders are smashing through barriers and shattering glass ceilings, as they drive success across all industries. Yet, despite these huge accomplishments, truth is the majority of smart and busy women constantly battle with a deep-rooted and insidious self-doubt. It leads to anxiety and overthinking because on some level these women feel like an imposter waiting for their cover to be blown; to be exposed as the fraud they perceive themselves to be.

?

So why is this? And how can Imposter Syndrome be overcome once and for all?

?

Having worked with thousands of clients, I can safely say that usually the feeling of ‘not being enough’ can be traced back to childhood emotional trauma and the lasting impact of emotional wounds.? Early years' experiences and how we make sense of our relationships lays the foundation for how we see ourselves.? A child’s perception is egocentric. This means she blames herself as a way to make sense of the emotional confusion or overwhelm she feels which is caused by adult neglect, overburden of responsibility, emotional distance or any other form of abuse. She tells herself, mostly without being aware, that it simply has to be her fault and that she must be inadequate in some way. ?

?

Enter Your Inner Critic! Those early emotional wounds may bubble up as an inner critic; a relentless nagging voice which reflects the negative messages absorbed during moments of vulnerability.

?

Recognising and understanding the connection between present day feelings of inadequacy and past emotional wounding is a crucial step towards healing. It allows you finally to set yourself free from those chains of past emotional trauma. ?When you heal your buried emotional wounds and adopt the right mentoring strategies to grow, you unleash your self-confidence and ignite self-worth, which means you release the break and skyrocket your career.? Your success story really can be this straightforward. If I can do it. So can you. You just need to know how.

?

To sum up it is fair to say that the journey to self-confidence is a personal and ongoing process. Personal and discreet mentoring can positively impact your progress and success - phenomenally. Please believe me when I tell you it is entirely possible for you to shake off Imposter Syndrome and thrive in your life, personally and professionally – without excuse or apology.
