Self-Doubt Micro-video series - #3. Imposter Syndrome
Imposter syndrome is when you are more than qualified, or experienced, but you doubt your ability. Or you may have 1 skill lacking and it becomes your focal point that overides all the good you bring.

I have a few practical tips or points for you on this one:

1. Don't compare other peoples stories to yours, or what you see on social media!
2. Remember. List how far you've come and your achievements
3. Get someone to tell you how awesome you are

Confidence doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from noticing what you’ve already done. There's a difference between filling a skills gap, versus obsessively trying to do more.

'Doing the work’ in this case, means - on yourself. These steps don't have to be overwhelming or big. We can get more into motivation mindset on our free 30 minute webinar. For now...

PRACTICAL TIP:

Try a small step today. This takes less than 30 seconds:
At the end of today day when you get to bed, list what you are proud of in your mind (or you can write them down if you fancy it).

Self-Doubt Micro-video series - #2 Self-talk

Be careful what you say to yourself because you are listening. I remember when I started as a trainer 20+ years ago. I was scared and felt negative on myself..so I said - what if I felt the opposite!? This would be a completely different experience and so I focused on feeling confident and positive.

It's not always that simple, but we have to change the narrative. Affirmations are one way or doing it. Here are 2 of my favourite:

1. Relaxation or hypnotherapy when your brain wave is alpha or theta (absorbs into subconscious)
2. Bold strong shouting - hyped up versions to play in the car that get your revved up

On the webinar, we will delve deeper into these elements of the 'why' and 'how' to shift or even ask questions about what I use and where to get hold of them but for now....

PRACTICAL TIP:

Write down your key phrases that you tend to say to yourself. Then apply an alternative affirmation (examples below)

Some examples of alternative affirmations, but make sure to tap into your unique inner-crtiique:

1. "I’m too introverted to succeed here."
→ "My quiet strength brings depth, insight, and balance to the team."

2. "I’m not assertive enough to lead."
→ "I lead with clarity, confidence, and compassion."

3. "I’ll never be as good as my colleagues."
→ "I celebrate others’ strengths while honoring my own."

4. "I’m not smart enough to contribute."
→ "My insights are valuable and help move things forward."

5. "I’ll never get promoted."
→ "I am growing professionally and opening doors to new opportunities."

6. "I’ll never land the job I really want."
→ "I am attracting the right opportunities and preparing confidently for my next role."

Self-Doubt Micro-video series - #1 Pattern or Phase?
Self-doubt happens to us all, you're not alone. In high performers it hides in behaviours such as over-prepping, micromanaging, hesitating. Which one do you do?

1st become aware of that, then interrupt the cycle. The more self-aware we become, the quicker we can tap into this mental mastery and move out of that disempowered feeling.

We are humans, and so negative thoughts and feelings can come and go. But how do you know what is a deep rooted pattern that needs rewiring, versus just the regular ups and downs of our emotions or situations?

On the webinar on 25th September, we will delve deeper into these elements of they 'why' and 'how' to shift both of these, building in some psychology but for now....

Below are some phrases to help you change the narrative:

Get used to interrupting your pattern and stopping the self judgement. This in itself is a huge step. It all starts with awareness and a line in the sand.

UAE Time: 1pm

PRACTICAL TIPS:

Say to your inner self-doubter:

1. “Thank you for your input, but I’m choosing growth over comfort.”
→ Acknowledges the doubt, but asserts direction.
2. “I hear you — you're trying to protect me. But I’m safe to move forward.”
→ Recognizes fear as a survival instinct, not a command.
3. “It’s okay to feel unsure — I can still take action.”
→ Makes space for fear without letting it paralyze you.
4. “Noted. Now let’s get back to what matters.”
→ Short, focused, and decisive.
5. “This might be uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.”
→ Differentiates discomfort from danger or failure.

Choose wisely

15/08/2025

Never underestimate the power and strength that lies beneath. Your roots and grounding are often much bigger and stronger than what appears on the surface.

Always remember that.

Especially when forgetting your worth or doubting yourself.

1st video on self-doubt goes out Monday. Happy weekend.

10/08/2025

Self-doubt can inadvertently fuel procrastination; the key is to acknowledge the fear and move forward regardless.

So with this in mind, I commit to the dates that I'm going to post the 4 micro-videos on this subject, and the 30-minute webinar - offering tips for immediate application.

Every Monday starting from 18th August for 4 weeks we will look at one component and finish with a live interactive webinar on 25th September. Details for all will follow.

See...now I have to do it!

I promise you, when you make commitments that might feel out of your comfort zone (AND you do it) your self-esteem builds. You can't quiet the voice of self-doubt if you don't take a step forward. This is what we refer to as 'doing the work'.

But it doesn't have to be huge or overwhelming. In fact, it's quiet subtle and I'm looking forward to showing you how.

A little intro:

Hi, I'm Nic, I have 20+ years in L & D at strategic level working across MEA and Europe. With 3 degrees, including Masters in HR/L & D (FCIPD) and Psychology, amongst various certifications such as Insights Profiling, Coaching, Hypnotherapy and Yoga, my passion is to empower others to be the master of their minds.

With personal experience of recovering from burnout, I appreciate that action-orientated mindset personalities are prone to getting in their own way, but you can be successful without burnout.

Therefore, my fast-action approach, personal examples and relatable analogies help to bring techniques to life in a practical way, which can be applied immediately. Let's remove those pesky obstacles, so you can live the life you truly deserve.

See you soon!

Always love the Eisteddfod, Fringe festival and music about town in our gorgeous town .wales each year. Kicking it off with Hans Zimmer movie music

Another great week with this amazing colleague Alexandra Galviz (Authentic Alex) getting into deep discussion about those difficult leadership areas. My favourite feedback from the course being

'I started this journey alone and I'm walking out of here with a fully supportive set of colleagues'.

We were not meant to walk alone in our journey, hiding all our pain points and trying to be perfect and pressurising ourselves to know what we are doing all of the time.

Humans are built for community and in these remote working days it's a real blessing to be able to spend physical time with your peers who are experiencing the same people challenges.

keep going. keep growing
