Career Changers!

Read something recently that completely encompasses all my feelings...

"Am I good enough? Do I have enough experience? Are my skills transferable? Will anyone see my value outside of my current role? Is it even possible for me to make more money than I make right now? Struggling to (1) see and articulate my value, (3) and leverage my skills to pivot into a more aligned career. I downplay my accomplishments and resorted to shrinking due to imposter syndrome and overwhelming fear of failure if I leave my secure (yet life-sucking) job.

Yes, you are good enough and yes your experience is valuable and highly sought after. I suffer from this too. Lots of women do. I’ve been working to be aware of the negative mind chatter and replace it with things that are more in alignment to the story that I’m writing.

I truly think imposter syndrome is a mindset, and with any mindset, it can be debunked and overcome! I'm not immune to this either, and once I realized I needed to address the mindset head-on, that nagging voice calmed down. What can you do outside of work/your career to address your imposter syndrome and work through these negative belief patterns>

Therapy is great at addressing Imposter Syndrom and to shore up self confidence and lack if self worth. These things seldom get resolved by themselves and I would hate for anyone to play small and not have an incredible career and life. Where these issue show up at work they also show up elsewhere. Think about it.

This resonates with many people I am sure. Myself included. The truth of it is always that no matter what, a new job or career move will always come with a learning curve so even feeling positive about a new role is likely to come with the discomfort of a learning curve. It's up to you to trust yourself enough to present your skills well, but important to remember that you'll learn as you go too. We're all just faking it until we make it as it stands, but sometimes you learn it's not the right fit too. All of this is OK. You got this!
