Crystal's Notes - 7th October 2023

Dear Tribe,

Many of my clients come to me asking for help with imposter syndrome and I’ve noticed an interesting trend amongst them. My typical “Imposter Syndrome” client tends to be a perfectionist who grew up in environments where she or he was seen with critical eyes by authority figures.

She or he was held to high standards, often grew up too fast, losing part of their childhood and gaining instead the sense of overresponsibility.

They normally have a conscious or subconscious belief that goes something like “In order to be loved, I must be perfect.” And they are very sensitive to criticism, and spend a great deal of time and energy perfecting themselves and their work in order avoid the pain of being seen as “defective” or found as not worthy of love.

As they grow up, this pattern of overresponsibility often drives them to achieve great things and please the authority figures around them. But internally, they drive themselves relentlessly, holding themselves up to impossible standards. And the voice of the Imposter Syndrome becomes all too familiar - saying to them every day “You need to work hard otherwise you’ll be found out!”.

They can have all the success in the world, but they don’t feel it, and can’t absorb it because they don’t quite believe they deserve it.

It can become their life’s work to learn how to overcome that Imposter syndrome and find their authentic self.

Which is why we decided to offer a rare one day masterclass which comprises of 2 workshops- Find Your Voice & Overcome Imposter Syndrome.

The ability to use your voice persuasively and overcoming limiting beliefs can be done with tools and practice. The many questions on the above topics that come in week after week suggest that the community wants to learn more about how we can work to empower our voices and mindsets. Thus, we hope that our workshops, Authenticity & Authority - Find My Voice & Overcome Imposter Syndrome, which will be happening on 9 December 2023, Saturday, will be able to help you do just that.

The Find Your Voice workshop will run from 0900-1230 hrs. Through roleplay and live-coaching, you will learn to seek out who you are, and what your authentic voice sounds like. You will also learn the three principles of persuasion, and practise impactful introductions that will leave lasting first impressions.

The Overcoming Imposter Syndrome workshop will run from 1330-1700 hrs. Here, you will take time to understand imposter syndrome and where it comes from. You will also learn how to identify and overcome limiting ideas, and be given tools to reframe and transform difficult emotions and negative beliefs. These are the tools that will empower your mindset.

You may purchase a ticket for both sessions, or just for either the AM or PM session under the ticket options.

Don’t feel alone if you’re suffering from imposter syndrome. It is one of the most common challenges that successful professionals face. There are ways to manage and overcome it, just like there are ways to empower your voice.
