How to Stop Making Your Work Sound Easy
from Career Confidence with Fexingo: Imposter Syndrome, Self-Promotion, and Owning Your Worth · host Fexingo
Lucas and Luna tackle a subtle but powerful form of imposter syndrome: explaining away your own accomplishments by making them sound effortless. Drawing on a 2024 study from Harvard Business School, the hosts explore why phrases like 'it was nothing' and 'I just got lucky' undermine your perceived competence — and offer a simple reframe that preserves both humility and authority. Lucas shares a concrete scripting technique used by senior executives at a Fortune 500 company, and Luna reveals how she caught herself doing exactly this in a recent performance review. This episode is for anyone who has ever downplayed a win without realizing it — and wants to own their worth without feeling like they're bragging. #ImposterSyndrome #SelfPromotion #CareerAdvice #WorkplacePsychology #CommunicationSkills #ExecutivePresence #HarvardBusinessSchool #OwnYourWorth #CareerConfidence #ProfessionalGrowth #HumilityAndAuthority #WorkplaceDynamics #PersonalBranding #LeadershipSkills #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #CareerConfidenceWithFexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
