As a women’s leadership coach and former high-tech leader, I’ve struggled with self-doubt at various points throughout my career. Because I’m also wired with high anxiety, if left unchecked, my self-doubt can become overwhelming.
Let’s imagine a common scenario. You’re asked to present an update at a meeting of senior-level leaders. Your first thought might be excitement. This is a great opportunity to As that fleeting thought slips away, however, new, more disruptive thoughts emerge. You begin to ask yourself, “Who am I to speak to such a powerful group?” or, “What if I fail? My career will be over!” As ridiculous as these thoughts might seem, once again, we don’t see them that way when we’re experiencing them.
When you find yourself in a paralyzing state of self-doubt, ask yourself what other options you have. Consider these variations of the question:If I were advising a friend in this situation, what additional options might I propose?What would help me to feel more prepared for this opportunity?The simple act of disrupting that primitive brain response and engaging your cognitive abilities will reveal many more options than you imagined.
