Good Enough For Now

Challenging the Imposter Within You with Christine Alvarez and Eileen Springer


Listen Later

In this episode of Good Enough For Now, Christine Alvarez and Eileen Springer share the transitions that happen in our career that stem out of imposter syndrome. There are so many instances where we see a fork in the road ahead in our careers and we want to be the one to decide which way to go. It requires some deep work and self-reflection to decide if we should go left or right.

 

This episode is a bit different because I had the pleasure of sitting down with Christine and Eileen in person, a first for this podcast. Watch the video for the episode below.

 

They share why imposter syndrome is not your fault, why remote work might not be best for your career, how to step back into the workforce if you’ve been away, and why self-awareness is the most powerful tool in your growth.

 

Listen in (or watch!) to hear more.

 

WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE:

 

What is imposter syndrome (really) and how it can impact you professionally.

How to overcome imposter syndrome by recognizing and naming it, understanding the circumstances that trigger it, and challenging negative self-talk.

Why working with a coach is an effective way to grow in your career and why your partner, friend, or colleague might not be the best person to get advice from.

Why imposter syndrome, characterized by feelings of intellectual phoniness and self-sabotage, is more common among women, especially in situations where they are the minority.

Christine and Eileen discuss the emotional filing cabinet concept, where our perception of ourselves, how we present ourselves, and how the world reflects back on us play a role in imposter syndrome.

They also touch on workplace trends, the challenges and benefits of remote work, the importance of visibility and influence, and the value of self-reflection and nurturing your network.
