Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.”
Exodus 4:10
Have you ever experienced Imposter Syndrome? If you’ve never heard the term before, it’s loosely defined as doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. I read an interesting article on Harvard Business Review today that shed a bit more light on this newly identified phenomenon that disproportionately effects women and BIPOC. Conversely, those who have never experienced Imposter Syndrome before are sometimes overconfident; but if you’ve worked long enough with other people, you probably already know that confidence does not equate competence. This season that we’re in has thrust many individuals into the abyss of self-doubt, insecurity, and insignificance. But just because you feel unqualified, does not make it true.
