12 Lies of the imposter complex:
Self-doubt is proof of your inadequacy
Successful people don’t experience this
You are either all or nothing
You have nothing useful valid or original to say
You must not tell anyone about this
You must tell everyone about this
You’re not ready yet
You’ll never be able to pull that off again
It’s just a matter of time before this all crumbles beneth you
You can’t trust the praise of others
Fake it till you make it
Asking for help is for suckers
Root into the truth of your capacity

People pleasing
Leaky boundaries
Diminishment
Comparison
Perfectionism
Procrastination
If you’re about to do something don’t just slip it into the water
How dare you hoard your good stuff
If you slip it into the water you’re guaranteed get slipped it into the water results and then that confirms the negative bias.
Understand what’s in the way of you taking action?
Cultivate circles of belonging
You’re impeccable impact is where we want to go
Rooted in integrity, presence and taking right action
Show up authentically, be obedient to our vision and to ourselves.
When we give ourselves the same reverence that we would give others that’s when we are truly unstoppable.
We are willing to fail when we are rooted in tenacity and resilience
When we know which behavioral trait is our natural set point we know where the work is.
