2.4 LionHeart Talks... Imposter Syndrome

“At some point I’m going to be found out – I’m such a fraud!”

An astonishing number of people (up to 70% of us!) have secret feelings of ‘imposter syndrome’ at work at some point: feeling like a ‘fraud’, that they don’t fit in, don’t deserve to be where they are, and that one day someone will discover they’ve been winging it all along. Sound familiar?

LionHeart host Jo Grant is joined by our ambassador Emma Snipp, a chartered surveyor turned coach, to talk about what imposter syndrome is – and what it isn’t – and why so many people in the property industry are affected by it.

We talk about:

• The five key ways imposter syndrome shows up
• Why imposter syndrome is more common later on in your career and, ironically enough, the higher up the ladder you go
• How to recognise the four Ps: perfectionism, procrastination, paralysis and performance
• What you can do to stop secretly sabotaging yourself
• Stretching the comfort zone (while avoiding the hot lava!)
