We recently connected with Jeremiah Battle and have shared our conversation below.
Jeremiah, first a big thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and insights with us today. I’m sure many of our readers will benefit from your wisdom, and one of the areas where we think your insight might be most helpful is related to imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome is holding so many people back from reaching their true and highest potential and so we’d love to hear about your journey and how you overcame imposter syndrome.
I overcame imposter syndrome by understanding that despite usually being the youngest person in the room, I was equal to those standing around me. Maybe not equal in terms of experience but equal in talent and ambition. Imposter syndrome is simply your mind telling you that you don’t deserve the success or opportunities you’re currentely experiencing. It’s easy to feed into this mindset, to doubt your abilities, to downplay your success, but I learned at a very early age that I did belong, and that belief in myself has allowed me to flourish in spaces that I wouldn’t have if I let imposter syndrome control my steps.
The easiest way to defeat imposter syndrome is to understand that doubt usually comes when you’re in the wake of success.
