Individual training: Overcoming self-doubt – enjoying success

You don't show your self-doubt, but when interacting with others, you automatically make yourself smaller inside and feel somehow inferior. Objectively, there is no reason for this; everyone is satisfied with your performance, and yet you are afraid of being "found out." You don't necessarily believe praise, thinking instead that luck and chance played a role or that others are just being friendly. On the contrary, you may feel pressured to justify the praise and work even harder to the point of exhaustion. You are not alone in this; it is known as the impostor phenomenon. This individual training will show you how to overcome these constant self-doubts.
