The above resources give you lots of places to start, but as ever, there are more options out there. You're not a fraud, honestly. BUT, sometimes we need more help and support than a webinar alone. I want to guide you through what is available:

​

Option 1: Group work was shown to be very powerful when Clance and Imes discovered Imposter Syndrome in the 1970s. They found that connecting with others who felt the same had an unmasking effect and helped to break down the limiting beliefs of individuals too. I offer a 12 week group programme alongside Claire Grigson for those within the veterinary profession, you can find out more at www.vetempowered.com.

​

Option 2: Coaching can be really helpful, both to help break down the beliefs that we hold about not being good enough, but also to help realign you on what is really important; sometimes we can feel like an imposter if we are chasing someone else's dreams, and not our own. I offer transformational coaching 1:1 with limited spaces for those in the entrepreneur space and via Vet Empowered for the veterinary space, and coach on a level of identity because that drives everything else. However there are many other brilliant coaches out there. The important thing is finding a coach that suits you, and that you believe in their methods and align with their values. I'd always recommend having a discovery call with a coach to see what they can offer, and find someone that you resonate with. A good coach won't be afraid to redirect you towards other sources of help where appropriate, with the potential to regroup at a later date. I could sit here and hard sell you my own coaching all day, but I work with specific people who are the right fit and who resonate with my methods, I'm far more passionate about helping people get help that works for them than persuading.

​

There are likely a number of other imposter syndrome courses online, I would not feel comfortable recommending them without having done them myself, but that does not mean they aren't good. I stick true to my values in explaining what truly worked for me, and then I can be authentic.

​

Which one is best for me?

​

Always remember that everyone is an individual, and different things will work for different people. Looking up topics such as mindfulness and realising we don't have to believe everything that we think can be truly helpful, but there is more to it than that. You are valuable, unique, and worthy of your successes.

(In fact in 2011 Binazar figured out the odds of us being here, as us, was 1 in 400 trillion. Pretty incredible, right? But that's a bit much for some to take in at this stage).

​

Which of your successes are you now ready to own?

​

Shelf help?

​

Lots of people ask me about books. I love books, I own hundreds of them and I'm always reading...BUT, completely honestly? No book completely changed my life. Therapy, coaching and group programmes did, those things keep us accountable and provide a support for our new beliefs and true identity. I'd read a book, it helped for a while, then I'd slip back into older ways or I'd stop using the methods. I cannot recommend investing in yourself enough more than books alone, you are totally worth it.

​

I've listed a few books that I found very helpful on my own journey though, as I realise not everyone is ready for taking a leap into self-investment yet, feel free to check them out. They're not directly imposter syndrome based, but genuinely some of the methods outlined did provide insights.
