Imposter Syndrome: A Common Experience for Many
Imposter syndrome is a common experience that affects around 70% of people at some point in their lives. It is not limited to the workplace but can manifest in various areas such as relationships, joining new experiences, or starting a new career like coaching. Coaching, being an emerging field, can contribute to imposter syndrome due to the uncertainty surrounding what a coach looks like and the misconceptions about the role. Many coaches feel inadequate or fraudulent because they lack a clinical background, leading to imposter syndrome. It is crucial to address imposter syndrome as ignoring it can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-sabotaging behavior.
