Hi, my name is Edward and I suffer from the Critical Imposter syndrom.

In my last coaching-session my coach guided me to think about what would make it easier for me to share my thoughts and ideas with the community.

I want to be an active part of this movement, evolving the way we are thinking about and doing our work. Who knows, maybe by being active, I inspire more people to be active and people might actually learn from me. Wouldn’t that be great!

I have a huge impediment though.

Sometimes I’m amazed by all the brilliant minds out there, thinking that since they are so good, why should I even bother. Who am I to say something, what do I know. I’m stuck in the fixed mindset, and can’t see how I could improve.

I judge myself much harder than I should. I put others peoples flaws into circumstance. Turns out that my biggest fear is of my own self criticism.

I think I have to live with both of those feelings, at the moment I’m exploring ways to mitigate them. One experiment I came up with in that coaching session was to write this disclaimer:

“This text reflects my lates learning and thinking. I hope to learn more by writing it down and sharing it with you so that you and I can learn even more. I would love to get your feedback and please share the text with anyone who might find it useful.”
