How to Stop Letting Your Own Standards Crush Your Confidence
from Career Confidence with Fexingo: Imposter Syndrome, Self-Promotion, and Owning Your Worth · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna tackle the confidence trap of impossible internal benchmarks. They explore why high achievers often feel like frauds not because they lack skill, but because their personal yardstick keeps moving. Using the story of a product manager who set a 'perfect launch' standard that erased every real win, the hosts walk through three concrete tactics: naming your hidden rule, testing it against an external peer's scoreboard, and building a 'good enough' threshold. This episode offers a practical reframe for anyone whose own excellence criteria are backfiring into self-doubt. Perfect for listeners who are competent, accomplished, and still feel like they don't measure up. #ImposterSyndrome #SelfConfidence #HighAchievers #Perfectionism #CareerGrowth #InnerCritic #ProfessionalDevelopment #WorkplacePsychology #SelfWorth #ProductManagement #MentalModels #PersonalStandards #Reframing #SelfCompassion #Leadership #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
