What Stylists Get Wrong About Imposter Syndrome

Nicole Otchy - The Styling Consultancy Episode 45

We’ve all felt like we’ve had imposter syndrome at some point. Yet, because it’s such a popular topic to talk about, the true meaning of it often gets distorted. It’s gotten to the point where sometimes what you think is imposter syndrome is really something else. 

In this episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, you’ll get a crystal clear definition of imposter syndrome and how it differs from self-doubt and insecurity. I’ll also provide examples of skill gaps that cause you to believe you’re an imposter, discuss the cost and impact of doing new things in your business on you as a transformational stylist, and reveal how easy it can be to undersell yourself and burn out by mistaking other things for imposter syndrome.

2:02 - What imposter syndrome really is and why you must know the difference between it and self-doubt

7:57 - A personal example that illustrates the self-doubt that can be mistaken for imposter syndrome

12:49 - The cost of doing things you’ve never done before (and why you must pay it even if you think you’re too advanced)

17:29 - The importance of doing the work to rectify your skill deficit instead of passing it off as imposter syndrome

24:34 - An uncomfortable reality that often comes up and triggers feelings of being an imposter

29:06 - One of the most powerful antidotes to real imposter syndrome and normal insecurity in your business
