Before becoming an Imposter Syndrome Expert, I was an expert in feeling like an imposter, a fraud, a phony. I felt I was “less” than others.



My exams? Nothing really hard, they were easy to pass.

My promotions? I was at the right place, at the right time, with the right person.

My achievements? Oh, no big deal, if I can do it, anyone can.

​Diminishing my successes and feeling inadequate were just... me!

Until one day, before I turned 40, someone told me I probably had “imposter syndrome”. At first, I thought they were making fun of me and that it wasn’t a real thing...

Then, I read about it. And suddenly, BAM, it hit me.

And I felt reassured.

Like when you get a diagnosis and then, okay, there is something wrong, but there might be a way to fix it.


To fix me. 


To actually feel that I do belong.

That I am good at things (well, not everything of course!).

That I do deserve the trust and responsibilities at work.

That I can actually take a moment, reflect and be proud of what I’ve achieved so far.

Since then, I’ve been reading lots of books and articles, listening to lots of audiobooks and podcasts, and even completing a few trainings on the topic. 

And you know what? All this work paid off.

Because today, I can write on my website, that I am a good coach.

And I mean it.

I’m a good coach and, with my help, you too can overcome your imposter feelings.

  • You can be just you, and feel happy and proud about it.

  • You can be confident about your own worth.

  • You can identify your strengths, your weaknesses (yes, no one’s perfect!), your values, and your skills.

  • You can overcome your imposter feelings.


And I can help you say goodbye to my "good old friend", the Imposter Syndrome!

It’s not going to be an overnight change. It will require a bit of time, a bit of efforts, and even stepping out of your comfort zone! But it's so worth it!

After all, you don’t run your first 10k by simply downloading a running app, right?

So, are you ready to make a change?

Are you ready to feel and be enough just as you are?
