Banish Imposter Syndrome: Insights from Claire Bartlett | EP261

"How do you overcome imposter Syndrome? I'm done answering that question" - Reshma Saujani.

EP 261

In the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship, many business owners find themselves grappling with imposter syndrome, that nagging feeling of self-doubt and insecurity that can undermine success. In this episode of the Mindset & Action podcast, I sat down with visibility and confidence expert Claire Bartlett to discuss her journey in overcoming these challenges. Claire, who now helps other female entrepreneurs build their confidence, shared valuable insights into how she transformed her mindset and conquered the doubts that once held her back.

Claire’s struggle with imposter syndrome began in the early days of her business, when she questioned whether she even deserved to be in the entrepreneurial world. This mindset block, fuelled by past traumas and self-doubt, required significant internal work to overcome. Claire’s journey highlights the importance of acknowledging these feelings and actively working to shift them. She revealed that one of the key tools she used was what she calls her "Pick Me Up Pack"—a strategy she uses with her clients, it's a reminder that helps boost confidence and allows you to step fully into your role as a business owner.

Interestingly, although Claire has long since moved past her initial struggles with imposter syndrome, she emphasises the ongoing nature of personal growth. She continues to invest in herself, learning new techniques and ideas to stay on top of her game. This continuous improvement mindset is crucial, not just for overcoming imposter syndrome, but for sustaining long-term success in any business. Claire's story serves as a reminder that even seasoned entrepreneurs must remain committed to their personal development.

For those who resonate with Claire’s story, I recommend a powerful commencement speech that challenges the very concept of imposter syndrome, particularly as it relates to women check it out below. This speech, offers a fresh perspective on why imposter syndrome persists and how we can choose to reject it. As Claire and I discuss, much of the pressure we feel is socially constructed, and by questioning its origins, we can begin to dismantle its hold over us. If you're looking for more insights on building confidence and overcoming self-doubt, be sure to listen to the full podcast episode with Claire, where she dives even deeper into these topics.
