Happy Monday Escapees,
Along with all the excitement, disappointment, highs and lows that came with England making it to the final of the Euros, the subsequent resignation of Gareth Southgate got us pondering on the question:
How does external judgement overshadow our own self-worth and potential?
In answer, it can allow self-doubt to creep in - as seeking validation from others only undermines confidence. It can enable the fear of failure to grow - in turn the fear of taking risks. It can allow our old friend imposter syndrome to stand tall - as we compare ourselves with others and set unrealistic standards.
And in actual fact, (bringing it back to the football), Gareth Southgate’s experience and scrutiny throughout the Euros served as a powerful reminder that our true value and identity stem from within, and not from the fleeting perception of others. Despite the immense pressure that he was under, Southgate remained steadfast, focusing on the bigger picture rather than being swayed by the outcome of each match. He showed consistent resilience and was a testament to not allowing how others define us, impact how we define ourselves.
In this spirit, we encourage you to remember the importance of staying true to yourself, even when external circumstances may make this challenging. Hold your head high no matter what is going on around you and don’t let doubt, fear and imposter syndrome overtake your own confidence and values.
Know that by focusing on your internal compass and staying true to yourself, you can navigate whatever path your career takes with purpose, and on your own terms.
Happy Escaping!
Charlotte, Dom, Aman, Elena & Hilary
