This Simple Tool Eliminates Impostor Syndrome
Years ago, a guest speaker in one of my CEO groups gave us a tool to combat “Imposter Syndrome.” Like all good consultants, it starts with a 2x2 grid:
1. Top Left: Past Positive
2. Bottom Left: Past Negative
3. Top Right: Future Positive
4. Bottom Right: Future Negative
Or put another way:
1. Confidence
2. Depression (+impostor syndrome)
3. Optimism/Excitement
4. Anxiety (+impostor syndrome)
When you live in 2 (e.g., you messed something up or got a bad result), you need to move to 3. (How will things be better once you do what you need to do to overcome it?)
When you are living in 4 (i.e., worried about a future outcome of something), you need to move to 1. (Draw on past wins and remember your strengths.)
Bonus Points if you populate the "positive" quadrants with data points for quick recall.
I hope this tactic is helpful to someone.
PS. The speaker was Stanley Cup Champion Ryan Walter.
