Overview

Imposter syndrome is loosely defined as doubting your abilities and accomplishments and feeling like a fraud. “Do I really have what it takes to pull it off?” “Do I have what it takes to be a success?” “Am I good enough?” These are questions we often ask ourselves as we face and step into challenging aspects of everyday life, and no one is immune from them. These feelings are often fueled by self-doubt and fears and feelings of worry and concerns like being scared of not being enough, etc.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “One of these days, people will realize I don’t know as much as they think”? Maybe you live with that nagging feeling of being found out because you believe you’re not smart enough, not talented enough, don’t have the experience, etc.

These doubts and the constant pressure to fit in and perform can trigger feelings of impostor syndrome. This can lead to becoming demotivated and feeling it’s just too hard to keep putting yourself out there. The truth is without support or a means to manage and work through these feelings, they can often feel in a continual state of anxiety and not feeling good enough.

Imposter Syndrome is more common than you think. We often fear that we are the only ones experiencing self-doubt, but you will be surprised at how many other people feel the same way. It can affect anyone, no matter their social status, work background, skill level, or degree of expertise. No one is immune from this; however, there are ways to work through these feelings of impostor syndrome.

Impostor syndrome is an issue faced by many corporate professionals who are successful in their careers and have the expected things in life BUT their happiness, relationships, and health are so often sacrificed, undermined by feelings of anxiety, self-doubt, and not experiencing success internally, leading to feelings of imposter syndrome.

It does not matter how common imposter syndrome is in your life or how frequently you feel it, but whether you let that fear stop you from taking action to reach your goals. Breaking down any mental and emotional barriers to taking action allows you to move forward.

Join us as we gently take you through an approach to help you deal with imposter syndrome, stop this unhelpful cycle, and make some real strides forward.

My name is Serena Ittoo. I am from London in the United Kingdom. I am also a licensed Master NLP Practitioner and Life Coach.

My vision is of a world where individuals can live each and every day creating a life in which they feel valued, balanced, and committed to maximizing their full potential and self-belief to live the life they dream of living.

With all of this experience, my mission is to guide, encourage, and witness your personal transformation into the best version of you, where you can live and breathe authentic confidence without fearing the value of your worth. We can all fall victim to believing in our doubts and insecurities about ourselves sometimes; I have been there and want you to know that you are not alone and that you are more than enough!

When you decide to commit to your key areas of focus, balance, and purpose, you start to transform the way you think and feel and develop new transformative, positive habits that can help you not only overcome challenges that may have set you back in the past but also inspire you to achieve many more triumphs you never thought you could possibly achieve.
