    Navigating Imposter Syndrome During Career Transitions

    Ever stepped into a new role or opportunity and thought, “What am I doing here?” In this episode of Courage Loading, leadership coach and career transition strategist Alicia Noble unpacks why imposter syndrome often shows up during career transitions, and how it can actually be a sign that you’re growing, not failing. Alicia explores the origins of the impostor phenomenon, first identified by psychologists Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes, and explains why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to it. She also introduces William Bridges’ Transition Model, which breaks change into three stages: Ending – letting go of an old identityNeutral Zone – the messy middle of uncertaintyNew Beginning – when the new identity starts to feel natural If you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or questioning your worth, you might simply be in that neutral zone — the space between who you were and who you’re becoming. Alicia shares her simple coaching framework, Spot – Soften – Stretch, to help you move through imposter feelings with more ease and confidence: Spot the imposter thoughtSoften it with curiosityStretch by taking one small action Because confidence doesn’t come from waiting to feel ready. It comes from gathering evidence. You’re not faking it. You’re becoming.

If your first instinct is to reach for your job title, your company, your qualifications - you're not alone. Most of us have spent years building our sense of worth from the outside in. And when a career transition comes, it doesn't just feel professionally uncertain. It feels like an identity crisis. In this episode, we start where all real change begins — with identity. Using the acronym OWN (Origin, Worth, Narrative) we explore where your sense of self came from, where you've been sourcing your worth, and what story you've been telling yourself about who you are and what's possible. Three questions to sit with this week: What do I actually value right now — not what I've been told to value?Where have I been sourcing my sense of worth — and is that still serving me?What story am I telling myself about who I am — and where did it come from?
