A Cure for Imposter Syndrome: Your Origin Story

That’s a big headline.

Let’s live up to it.

You might know that I’m a comic book geek from way back when, going back about half a century.

We know some of these stories. Even if we never read comic books, the Marvel and DC movies are part of our popular culture.

You know who was sent, as an infant, to Earth from his exploding home planet.

You know who was bitten by a spider and used his superpowers to protect the little guy.

You know who created his exoskeleton armor to escape his kidnappers.

I’m pretty sure none of these things actually happened to either of you or me.

But…

Could your origin story include moving out of a destructive situation and discovering new powers in your new place?

Could something that happened to you accidentally, unexpectedly, lead you to discover the ability to do things you never imagined doing before?

Could you have come up with an idea, with your back against the wall, that saved a client or brought on greater responsibility?

Yes.

And of course, none of these superheroes are imposters.

Well, except for the secret identities. And that they’re fictional.

Remember: your powers are yours, no matter how you acquired them.

You are not an imposter.

Come back tomorrow and help me figure out my superhero origin story.

See you then.
