Imposter syndrome

designwithflair, ,

What are your biggest challenges?

One of my biggest challenges is trusting myself….I often get imposter’s syndrome….and really doubt myself. I struggle to accept praise…I find it really hard to beat my own drums . Self promotion is almost anathema to me. I like attention but hate attention at the same time. I get stage fright and struggle with public speaking yet I can perform poetry! The minute I get off the stage…I hide!

I need to get out of my own way and find a way to embrace networking. I feel networking has to be one of the hardest things in the world to do.

I run a business but never talk business! One day…soon…I’ll probably take a course in public speaking….see if that helps.

Spontaneity is the watchword that informs my art practice. My artwork celebrates the energy of abstract expressionism. 'why not?' underlines my creative process. Forget the box! Its obsolete...it's all about whatever shape you want to throw on that dance floor! The process drives my practice!! For me, work well done is work I have thoroughly enjoyed making...work that has made me think, sweat, cry, scream and come back for more!!! Work that gets my back up; pushes me...gives me cause for doubt. Makes me push in order for 'why not?' to become possible. Boundaries? What boundaries?

  2. Wow, I can relate to this post big time. I’ve been struggling with the same exact thing for ages. I’m slowly learning as I go and I am proud of the progress I’ve made, but damn it can feel sloooooow as hell at times. Hang in there!
