Overcoming Barriers with Personal & Professional Growth

Have you ever felt like a fraud, even though you’ve achieved success?  You’re not alone. 

Imposter syndrome, that nagging feeling of inadequacy despite evidence of your competence, is surprisingly common. But here’s the good news: you can overcome it!

Feeling like an imposter can be especially challenging for those facing stereotypes in the workplace. 

According to Imposter Syndrome author and Customer Success Leader at LinkedIn Amber Naslund, “one of the most important messages that has emerged in all my work and studying around imposter syndrome is this: Imposter syndrome is the symptom, not the disease.” She goes on to explain “The disease is the professional trauma. It’s the constant drive of hustle culture mixed with the comparison traps of social media and a side helping of inequity, career setbacks and crises, all wrapped in the absence of support, mentorship, sponsorship, and mental healthcare.”

Kingdom Business Consulting (WMB-owned)  understands these challenges. Here are 5 ways imposter syndrome can manifest, and how personal and professional development can help:

• Discounting accomplishments: You downplay your successes, attributing them to luck or external factors. Solution: Personal development helps you identify and celebrate your achievements!
• Comparing yourself to others: You constantly compare yourself to others, feeling inferior. Solution: Professional development builds self-confidence and focuses on your own unique strengths.
• Fear of failure: The fear of making mistakes holds you back from taking risks. Solution: Workshops at Kingdom Business Consulting equip you with tools to manage setbacks and learn from experiences.
• Perfectionism: The relentless pursuit of perfection leads to procrastination and self-criticism. Solution: Our coaching helps develop a growth mindset, embracing challenges as opportunities to learn.
• Isolating yourself: You avoid seeking help or feedback, fearing you’ll be exposed as an imposter. Solution: Kingdom Business Consulting fosters a supportive community where you can connect and learn from others.
