Self-Doubt on Wall Street


Listen Later

Ever feel like you're the only one struggling with self-doubt while everyone else seems to have it all together? You're not alone. In this episode of Tied to Metrics, Kat Sosnick shatters the myth that high performers in finance never question themselves. She dives into how self-doubt impacts even the most successful individuals and why it's time to embrace the truth behind our insecurities.

Key Points

  • Self-doubt doesn’t mean you're underqualified. It means you care - Admitting self-doubt feels like a weakness in high-pressure fields, but it’s actually a sign you care and want to improve.
  • No one has it all figured out, even the mighty minds - Most people in finance (and high-performance fields) secretly struggle with self-doubt, even if they seem confident.
  • Recency Bias is a confidence killer - Giving too much weight to your most recent performance leads to over-analysis and a false sense of failure.
  • Confidence isn’t about certainty - Realizing that everyone faces uncertainty can help break the cycle of self-doubt and boost your confidence.
