A promotion has just been announced. On paper, everything adds up: years of solid results, a supportive team, and projects successfully completed. Yet, in the mind of the person concerned, a little voice keeps nagging. \u00abThey\u2019re going to eventually realize I\u2019m not up to the task. \u00bb \u00abI got lucky, yet again.\u00bb \u00abThe day they ask me the real question, I\u2019ll be found out.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Many experienced executives know this voice all too well. It doesn\u2019t make a sound in meetings. It doesn\u2019t show up on a resume. It works behind the scenes, in the evenings, when you find yourself rereading an email three times before sending it, or just before giving an important speech. It is the quiet face of imposter syndrome at work: that unsettling disconnect between objective success and the deep-seated feeling that you don\u2019t deserve it.<\/p>\n

What is often surprising is that this experience primarily affects competent, and sometimes brilliant, people. This is no coincidence. And the good news is that it is neither inevitable nor a character flaw, but rather a pattern of behavior that can be understood, observed, and then adapted. You don\u2019t \u00abcure\u00bb imposter syndrome: you learn to recognize it, to engage with it, and to regain control over how you interpret your own successes.<\/p>\n

What the imposter syndrome really entails<\/h2>\n

The term has entered everyday language, sometimes to the point of becoming a convenient label for any moment of doubt. It is worth clarifying the matter more precisely.<\/p>\n

Impostor syndrome describes a recurring pattern of thought: the person attributes their successes to external factors (luck, chance, help from others, a lenient jury) and their failures, even minor ones, to internal factors (\u00abthis just proves I\u2019m worthless\u00bb). Credit shifts outward, while blame always falls back on oneself. This imbalance creates a persistent belief: \u00abIf I succeed, it\u2019s not because of me; therefore, I\u2019m not really competent.\u00bb<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to make this clear: this is not a disease, nor is it a clinical diagnosis. It is a set of widespread beliefs and psychological mechanisms that can be more or less pervasive depending on the stage of life. You might go through an intense phase when starting a new job, then see the symptoms subside, only to have them resurface when facing a new challenge. This variability is precisely what makes it so unsettling: you thought you had \u00abresolved\u00bb the issue, and it comes back in through another door.<\/p>\n

\n

This article offers insights and food for thought. Coaching can help you come to terms with this experience and tap into your inner resources, but it is not a substitute for medical or psychological care. When doubt is accompanied by prolonged suffering, severe anxiety, or deep distress, diagnosis and clinical support are the responsibility of healthcare professionals and psychologists. Here, the focus is on prevention and mobilizing resources, never on treatment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The cognitive mechanisms that drive it<\/h2>\n

To come to terms with what eludes us, we must first understand how it works. The feeling of being a fraud isn\u2019t a reflection of your true worth: it\u2019s the result of a few easily identifiable thought patterns that often go round in circles.<\/p>\n

The selective filter applied to one's own successes<\/h3>\n

Our attention isn\u2019t neutral. It filters. A person prone to imposter syndrome filters information in a very particular way: compliments slip by, evidence of competence is downplayed (\u00abit was easy,\u00bb \u00abanyone could have done the same\u00bb), while the slightest mistake is highlighted in bold and underlined. Over time, the memory builds a case against them, carefully skewed.<\/p>\n

In practical terms, imagine two columns. In the \u00abevidence that I am legitimate\u00bb column, items are erased as they appear. In the \u00abevidence that I am not\u00bb column, every entry remains permanently recorded. With such an accounting system, the verdict is a foregone conclusion, regardless of the actual facts.<\/p>\n

Limiting beliefs and inner dialogue<\/h3>\n

Behind the feeling of being a fraud almost always lie deep-seated beliefs, often internalized at a very early age: \u00abTo be worthy, I must be flawless,\u00bb \u00abAsking for help is admitting weakness,\u00bb \u00abIf I\u2019m not the best, I\u2019m nothing.\u00bb These statements are not facts. They are implicit rules we have imposed on ourselves, often without ever having consciously chosen them.<\/p>\n

The role of a coach is precisely to bring these rules to light and then to question them. This is what we call reframing: changing the lens through which we view a situation, without denying reality. A simple example: shifting from \u00abI asked a question in the meeting, so I showed that I didn\u2019t know\u00bb to \u00abI asked a question, so I helped clarify a point for the whole team.\u00bb Same facts, different interpretation. Reframing doesn\u2019t gloss over reality: it opens up a more accurate and useful interpretation of it.<\/p>\n

The self-perpetuating cycle<\/h3>\n

The most insidious aspect of this phenomenon is its ability to feed on itself. This is what\u2019s known as a feedback loop: a system where the effect reinforces its own cause, like a microphone placed too close to a speaker that ends up producing an increasingly loud whistling sound.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it goes. I doubt my own worth. To make up for it, I overdo things: I overwork, I double-check everything, I spend nights on a project. The result is excellent. But since I attribute it to my over-effort (\u00abI just made up for it\u00bb), it never builds my confidence. When the next success comes, I start all over again, convinced that without this relentless drive, everything would fall apart. The competence is definitely there, proven time and again, but the feeling of being a fraud just won\u2019t go away. It has turned every success into proof that I have to keep running.<\/p>\n

Understanding this cycle is the first step toward breaking it. After all, we can\u2019t address what we don\u2019t see, and we can rarely resist what we haven\u2019t named.<\/p>\n

Why are high achievers particularly vulnerable to this?<\/h2>\n

Herein lies the great paradox, and it\u2019s worth pausing to consider. The feeling of being a fraud doesn\u2019t strike the least competent people at random. It often targets those who do the most, who succeed the most, and who set the bar very high.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons for this. The more a person progresses, the more they realize how much they still don\u2019t know: competence opens one\u2019s eyes to complexity, whereas inexperience can sometimes offer a false sense of security. Moreover, high-achievers readily compare themselves to the best in their field, not to the average. Measured by this standard, any success seems insufficient.<\/p>\n

There is also a contextual factor at play. The higher one rises in the ranks, the more one finds oneself among highly competent individuals, and the more the perceived gap between oneself and others narrows\u2014which can reinforce the misleading notion that \u00abthere is nothing exceptional about oneself.\u00bb Pivotal moments particularly highlight this experience: a promotion, a change of employer, or reaching a new level in the hierarchy. This is, in fact, one of the reasons why support during the transition into a new role often proves invaluable, allowing time to fully embrace one\u2019s new position.<\/p>\n

The special case of high-potential employees<\/h3>\n

Some people with unique cognitive styles experience this disconnect even more acutely. High-potential individuals, for example, often think in a branching manner: one idea leads to ten others, connections spring up, and nuances multiply. This is a true asset. But this way of thinking has a downside. Where others see a clear answer, these individuals perceive a dozen angles, exceptions, and \u00abyes, buts.\u00bb This leads to a difficulty in feeling \u00abcertain\u00bb about anything, and creates particularly fertile ground for imposter syndrome.<\/p>\n

Added to this is often a life marked by a sense of not quite fitting in: having long felt that you don\u2019t think \u00ablike everyone else\u00bb can leave a lasting mark\u2014the feeling that you never quite allow yourself to feel at home. Understanding that this uniqueness is also\u2014and above all\u2014a professional asset profoundly changes the relationship one has with it. On this specific point, the work conducted around the high potential and its specific characteristics in the workplace<\/a> usefully sheds light on how cognitive intensity can be transformed into strength, rather than remaining a source of doubt.<\/p>\n

Engage, don't fight: practical strategies<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t silence that feeling of being a fraud through sheer willpower, nor by repeating \u00abI believe in myself\u00bb in front of the mirror. Confronting it head-on tends to make it stronger. The solution-focused approach offers something else: rather than trying to make it disappear, it focuses on changing the role it plays and how we perceive ourselves.<\/p>\n

Rebalancing internal accounting<\/h3>\n

Since the selective filter erases evidence of legitimacy, the first step is to make that evidence visible again. This is the foundation of success: getting into the habit of recording, factually, what has been accomplished, how it was done, and what specific skills were used. Not to pat ourselves on the back, but to reconstruct an honest record where memory had deliberately kept a biased one.<\/p>\n

A simple and effective exercise: after a success, ask yourself three questions. What did I actually do? Which decisions were mine to make? What was within my control and not just luck? The point is not to deny the role of circumstances or others, but to stop completely downplaying them. Little by little, the column of evidence of legitimacy stops emptying as it fills up.<\/p>\n

Distinguishing between feelings and facts<\/h3>\n

Coming to terms with imposter syndrome also means learning to draw a line between \u00abI feel unworthy\u00bb and \u00abI am unworthy.\u00bb The first is an emotion, perfectly real and valid. The second is a statement about reality, which needs to be verified. Doubt is not reliable information about your worth: it is a feeling that says something about your standards, not your competence.<\/p>\n

This realization is liberating. It allows you to keep moving forward even with doubt, rather than waiting for it to disappear before taking action. Because it may never disappear completely, and that\u2019s okay. Many highly accomplished people move forward alongside their inner critic. They\u2019ve simply stopped treating it like an oracle.<\/p>\n

Building a Strong Foundation: Confidence and Self-Esteem<\/h3>\n

The feeling of being a fraud often stems from a distinction that people confuse: self-confidence (\u00abI feel capable of doing this\u00bb) and self-esteem (\u00abI am valuable, no matter what I do\u00bb). A person can accumulate evidence of competence without necessarily boosting their self-esteem, because the latter is based on something other than performance. This is precisely why so many successes are never enough to quell doubt.<\/p>\n

In-depth work on these two areas, such as that explored in the discussion on building confidence and self-esteem through support<\/a>, ...helps to separate one's self-worth from one's results. This is often where lasting change takes place: not by achieving more in order to finally feel legitimate, but by ceasing to make one's legitimacy dependent on the next performance.<\/p>\n

The value of an outside perspective<\/h3>\n

The imposter syndrome thrives in silence and secrecy. As long as it remains hidden inside, it retains its full power. Putting it into words, in front of someone trained to listen without judgment, takes away some of its hold. Support helps you identify your own patterns, explore alternative perspectives, and draw on your strengths rather than focusing on your shortcomings.<\/p>\n

That is the whole point of a personalized one-on-one support<\/a> : to create a space where one can set aside those thoughts usually kept to oneself, examine them without either complacency or harshness, and gradually rebuild a more accurate sense of one\u2019s own worth. The coach does not hand out certainties; instead, they help the person rediscover their own\u2014the ones that were always there, simply obscured by a filter.<\/p>\n

When doubt becomes a driving force<\/h2>\n

It would be a shame to conclude by suggesting that all doubt should be eradicated. A certain kind of doubt is healthy: it fosters humility, a desire to learn, and attentiveness toward others. People who harbor a little doubt question themselves, learn, and listen. The problem is never doubt itself, but the doubt that paralyzes, that exhausts, that turns every success into a reprieve.<\/p>\n

Coming to terms with imposter syndrome, then, does not mean striving for flawless, smooth, and unshakable confidence. It means learning to make that doubt a companion on the journey rather than a relentless judge. It means allowing yourself to take your place, not because you\u2019ve finally found definitive proof of your legitimacy, but because you\u2019ve realized you don\u2019t need it to move forward.<\/p>\n

This journey always begins with a more accurate understanding of oneself, one\u2019s background, and one\u2019s unique qualities\u2014and in particular, how an intense or atypical way of functioning can, in a professional context, a real help in everyday life<\/a> rather than a source of withdrawal. The feeling of being a fraud loses much of its power the day you stop fighting it and simply begin to understand it.<\/p>\n
