“I seem to be missing out on opportunities. No idea why!”

“I’m ashamed I haven’t got further in my career or business.”

“Younger and bolder colleagues are zooming past me on the career ladder.”

“I’m not being included in the critical conversations taking place around me.”

“I’ve been in business for years and while I love helping people, I seem to just survive financially.”

“I got bumped off the executive team and no-one told me why.”

“I wonder what I’m doing here. There are others far better qualified for the role.”

“I don’t need to ask for more money. I’m just happy to be making a difference.”

“I did quite well this year but I could have done much better.”

“I don’t know why I got a promotion. I was sure they were about to fire me!”

Many of my highly talented and capable clients experience these frustrations: feeling overwhelmed, inadequate, and constrained by their limiting mindsets. These issues stem from deeply held personal beliefs about how the world works and how they handle external uncertainty. Most importantly, they arise from not recognizing their own value.

Why don’t they see their value?

A limiting mindset obscures their true potential, much like wearing the wrong prescription glasses. Imposter Syndrome, a well-known limiting mindset, results in mistaken beliefs about one’s abilities and self-worth. This leads to a disconnect between how individuals see themselves and how others see them.

For those experiencing Imposter Syndrome, this mistaken identity becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, causing them to underperform relative to their potential. Mindset contributes approximately 85% to the success of any endeavor, so a limiting mindset is costly.

Our success is limited by our self-identity. When we feel inadequate, we fail to recognize and value our strengths and successes. We miss opportunities, believing we’re not ready or capable. We may hesitate to ask for more money, fearing rejection will confirm our inadequacy. Speaking up can feel risky, as saying the wrong thing might lead to social self-destruction.

Seeing yourself more accurately enables you to recognize and build on your existing capabilities.
