Stress is an ever present companion in our lives. However, there are several items that can cause an elevated level of stress.
One of those is Imposter Syndrome. There are several studies that people with higher levels of Imposter Syndrome experience increased levels of work related stress, insomnia and depression. So much so that as many as 1 in every 3 individuals in the USA has some form of insomnia.
The environment in which you work doesn’t help either. Vendor problems, budget reductions, turnover on the team, changing priorities by your stakeholders, production system issues after a release that requires immediate resolution, all of these cause stress.
When someone is experiencing increased levels of stress, they also experience insomnia. Failing to address the stress and insomnia can lead to debilitating illnesses like heart attacks, diabetes, and depression. It robs that person’s problems solving creativity, their normally positive attitude is gone, replaced by cynicism and poor leadership effectiveness.
We help these individuals suffering from Imposter Syndrome and the results of that so that they can keep doing the job that excites them.
We do this through strategy sessions, thorough training, and courses.
