I bet you’ve had one of those weeks. You know the ones where nothing ever goes right. And no matter how much work you’ve already done, your boss asks you to do “one” more thing, fifteen times.
Never mind the fact that you’ve got personal stuff going on. You’ve picked up the slack for three coworkers, and you’re barely holding your head above water.
When you got this job, you weren’t sure if you could do it. But you had to get out of your last position. The stress was killing you.
You worked hard. You went above and beyond to prove that you could do it. And little by little you discovered that you were capable.
And everyone else saw it too. So they kept piling on the work.
You put your head down and did it ALL. You didn’t want to give them any reason to get rid of you.
As the work piled on, the reality sank in. You’d never be able to keep up. It was too much! And you began to wonder, “Maybe I can’t do this job after all. Maybe I’m not good enough.”
Hello imposter syndrome! 😫
But we all have to work. So you show up every day. Pushing yourself to the max. Continuing to do everything they want, even though you know it’s slowly killing you.
And bit by bit, everything else in your life starts falling through the cracks.
And you think to yourself, “How’d I get here again? Isn’t this why I left my last job?”
This is exactly where Mike O’Connor was when he decided to make a big life change. And yes men struggle with these things too! He struggled with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and an inability to say no. Join us for a deep-dive conversation about how he overcame these struggles.
