Imposter Syndrome is not a condition

Imposter Syndrome is not a condition

Iyas A · Jul 8, 2023 ·


Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Now *that’s* a condition!

In most cases where I’ve spoken to leaders about it in reality it’s something quite different.

And very human.

It’s the human response to growth and new challenges.

But because everyone and their dog is talking about it, and a hungry coaching industry is making money from it, we’ve turned what is a required and healthy part of growing into a “syndrome”.

As CEOs and founders, we need to stop syndromising our growth and start embracing it. Let’s call it what it is – the uncertainty, (mostly healthy) stress and discomfort of growth.

Own it, be proud of it, and keep pushing. You didn’t get here by accident.

[Part of 4th issue of the Build on Purpose newsletter where I deconstruct Imposter Syndrome. A Saturday morning read for leaders of companies with purpose. Subscribe here]
