Have you ever had that moment when a client mentions an issue they’re facing and you immediately think, ‘Uh oh! Me too!’? In that heart-sinking moment, you freeze and think, “Can I really help them?” You might even think, “If they knew my personal struggles, would they even keep me as a coach?” Let me bring you some comfort: We all have moments when our skill set is stretched. Times when we wonder whether or not we can really help our clients. And at least once in our coaching journey, we’ll have a situation when our client needs help with something we ourselves are still working through.
In those moments, you may experience what I call Niche Fraud Complex. Similar to the commonly termed “imposter syndrome”, if not addressed, it can erode your confidence and ruin your business. But take heart! By being ready for that moment, you can remove the false power of self-doubt and replace it with the true power of knowing you are blessed with the gift to help others in your niche.
“All of those lies, those doubts, that spinning in your mind: Write those down… When you can expose the lies, when you can have some resolution of the lies, when you can edit them and decide: ‘Which ones of these do I want to keep and work on? And which of these on this list do I want to decide I’m never going to think about again?’” – Molly Claire
