In his early days as a digital teacher, he would test different teaching styles. He paid close attention to when his students got results and doubled down on what worked. "I don't know" made him more relatable to his audience by sharing his imperfections with them.

How to deal with imposter syndrome when you’re teaching other people

Have you ever questioned whether you’re qualified enough to teach a digital course? Or worried that your students might already know all the good stuff.

As an online educator, I’ve felt this way many times -- and it’s something that I still have to consciously work on, even 14 years into my business.

The truth is, I know I don’t need to be years ahead of my audience to make an impact -- I just need what I call a 10% edge. In other words, I only need to know a little bit more than them, and be a little bit further along in my journey.

And because not too long ago, I was exactly where many of my students are today, I remember what it was like. I’m able to empathize with their struggles even better and recall experiences in more detail.

In this episode, I’m diving into what having a 10% edge really means, and how I deal with imposter syndrome when I start to doubt myself.

You’ll hear:

How to embrace your 10% edge and feel confident sharing it with the world
Different ways you can reframe your imposter syndrome when it shows up
Why it’s actually ok to struggle for answers (& how it helps in the long run)
Real-life stories of how I’ve overcome feeling like I don’t know enough

This is a great listen for anyone that’s ever dealt with imposter syndrome -- so pop in those earpods and press play on this insightful episode.
