Coaching Imposter Syndrome
What to Do When Imposter Syndrome Gate-Crashes Your 1:1s. A Guide for Managers, HR Professionals, Coaches & Consultants.
You’ve seen it before: someone who's full of potential, but it's as though they're being held back by an invisible force.
They're second-guessing themselves, self-sabotaging, playing small. You suspect Imposter Syndrome is at play, silently gate-crashing yet another of your 1:1 conversations.
You want to help, but the thought of raising the subject makes your stomach knot. What if they take it the wrong way? What if you make things worse? You worry they'll feel exposed, embarrassed, or think you're judging them.
So you put it off. You tell yourself it's not the right moment. That they'll figure it out in their own time. That you wouldn’t know what to say, anyway.
And if you're honest, there's another reason you hesitate: a little voice in the back of your mind whispers, “Who am I to have this conversation?” Your own Imposter Syndrome flares up, and suddenly you're not just worrying about them, you're doubting yourself too.
So you fall back on pep talks and platitudes.
You tell them they're doing great. You pass on your own coping strategies. You offer tea and sympathy, hoping it will be enough.
But deep down, you know it isn't. It keeps them stuck, maybe even making things worse.
You know the huge difference this conversation could make. If only you knew how to have it in a way that felt safe, natural, and effective.
The truth is, you can have this conversation, without feeling awkward or overstepping boundaries.
You can make a real difference, without turning into an accidental therapist.
And Coaching Imposter Syndrome will show you exactly how.
