A huge 77 per cent of the UK experiences imposter syndrome. 

 

Signs of imposter syndrome include: 

 

  • Doubting yourself 

  • Being unable to accurately assess your competence and skills 

  • Attributing your success to external factors 

  • Criticising your job performance 

  • Being afraid of disappointing 


Overcoming imposter syndrome 

If your feelings of imposter syndrome have subsided, you might be worried about them flaring up again upon return to the office following Boris Johnson’s roadmap to normality. We’ve got some tips to help you overcome imposter syndrome when you get back to the office while donning your smartest work suits! 

Facts over feelings 

We can be prone to letting emotions override logic. Focusing on facts over feelings can apply well to many different areas of our lives, but particularly imposter syndrome. When you perform well, are given praise, or are generally getting things done, congratulate yourself for your achievements that you’ve worked hard for. Due to your competence, you’ve succeeded, not because of luck or a fluke. Occasionally, there’ll be times where things don’t go to plan for everyone, and that can be disappointing. But when you perform well, don’t gloss over the moments or downplay it.
