Imposter Syndrome
In conversation with... Neil Stewart
Guess how a Tupperware box can help you overcome imposter syndrome...
Yes really! This is a gold-standard technique from last week's webinar guest Neil Stewart. Despite enormous professional success in several different industries, Neil has suffered from imposter syndrome at the most inconvenient times. Think, being landed with a keynote speech in front of hundreds with 24 hours' notice!
When that happens, Neil stresses the importance of being aware of and accepting the fear. Only then can you fight it.
So where does the Tupperware box come in?!
If you're in a situation that is making you fearful - Neil used the example of being landed with a particularly challenging presentation - he recommends you visualise the fear in front of you.
Take an imaginary Tupperware box with a nice secure clippy lid and stuff that fear into the box. Make sure it's in good and proper before clipping on the lid and putting it on a shelf behind you.
It will need to be dealt with later (no good comes from permanent suppression of these things) but, for now, it can be put out of sight - allowing you to focus on the presentation, meeting or other tricky situation.
It's simple and it REALLY works!
