From students embarking on their first role in business, all the way up to C-Level executives, most people will be haunted by Imposter Syndrome. It\u2019s that nagging doubt that \u201cYou\u2019re not good enough\u201d, \u201cYou\u2019re going to get found out\u201d or that \u201cSomeone might catch you with a question you can\u2019t answer\u201d. Science writer Sandeep Ravindran estimates that nearly 70% of people<\/a> will experience Impostor Phenomenon at least once in their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what? Surely if most of us have it and live with it, then it\u2019s not such a problem? The impact, however, of Impostor Syndrome is costly. In fact, a recent BBC article links<\/a> impostor syndrome to emotional exhaustion and burnout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that same article, Clara Josa, author of \u2018Ditching Imposter Syndrome<\/em>\u2019 identifies the four \u2018P\u2019s connected with impostor syndrome: Paralysis<\/strong>, Procrastination<\/strong>, Perfectionism<\/strong> and People-Pleasing<\/strong>. Ultimately, these negative outcomes can affect our productivity, performance and our mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to share a piece of advice that I often use to reassure my clients on overcoming impostor syndrome, as it\u2019s something I suffer from too. It may sound a little severe, but I believe it helps to be reminded. When you are the one speaking in a meeting, a presentation, on a call, or even writing an email it\u2019s really not about you!<\/em> There\u2026 I said it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t mean to diminish your knowledge, skills and ability. It\u2019s simply that when you\u2019re sharing information, it\u2019s so easy to put the burden of expectation on yourself; that you must get it right and you can\u2019t mess up or forget anything. The truth though is that you, me, all of us in our business communication are simply the conduit<\/em>. We are a pipeline for knowledge and the success of our communication lies in our ability to get that knowledge out of our brain and into the brains of others in the clearest and most memorable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Interstellar\u2019s<\/em> Michael Caine discovered the importance of listening<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people might think that to be a good actor you simply need to memorise your lines and regurgitate them on command. You may have heard the adage that \u201cActing is about reacting\u201d. Before he became a huge Hollywood star, Michael Caine learned the importance of this while rehearsing for a play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caine was asked by a theatre producer why he was sat doing nothing on-stage while another actor was speaking. Caine replied that he wasn\u2019t doing anything because he had no lines to speak. The producer suggested that, instead of doing nothing, he sit there and listen. Caine summarises, “… the greatest piece of advice I could give to someone… is to LISTEN AND REACT.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The greatest piece of advice I could give to someone is to listen and react.<\/p>\nMichael Caine<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An actor standing on stage waiting for their turn to speak will not be listening. If their focus is on themselves, it can lead to self-awareness which leads to inauthentic acting. That actor\u2019s physical and vocal choices will be stilted and unnatural. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the same in business meetings and presentations. When we focus on ourselves, we stop listening, we become self-aware and we act inauthentically. If you\u2019ve ever been in a meeting where people speak to you with monotonous voices while forgetting to gesture or put any emotion on their face, you\u2019ll understand what it means to be inauthentic. People are very good at spotting inauthenticity in others and it can be incredibly off-putting and damaging when our colleagues, clients and customers realise that we\u2019re not being ourselves and we\u2019re not oriented to what they want and need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to overcome impostor syndrome in business meetings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

So, what can you do to take the pressure off yourself in your business meetings? Much has been written by my colleagues around mindset<\/a> and overcoming mental blocks<\/a> and I would recommend all those techniques in conjunction with what I am about to suggest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to share a different approach that stems from my career as a professional actor. In the three years I spent training at drama school and the 18 years of working on stage and screen, I have gathered and honed techniques to be more instinctive, organic and credible in my job. I have failed many more times than I have succeeded but here are two techniques you can use to approach your business communication. My wish is that they help you to feel more comfortable and natural in meetings and to build trust with those you\u2019re speaking to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Focus on Words, Tone and Body Language<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Focusing on words, tone and body language is a key part of overcoming impostor syndrome. It sounds simple but it takes practice. Twenty one years of practice in my case. In your meetings, whether you\u2019re talking or listening, put your focus on the people around you. Ask yourself at every moment: \u201cWhat do they need from me and how is that information landing on them?\u201d Read their body language and listen to the words they use and the tone of voice in which they speak them. They will tell you everything and, often, what they don\u2019t<\/strong> tell you will say more. When we listen deeply to other people it builds trust. It says, \u201cYou\u2019re important to me\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a form of acting training called The Meisner Technique<\/a><\/em>. In classes, actors begin early in the course, in silence, sitting opposite each other, to simply notice the other\u2019s behaviour. Later, they move on to describing that behaviour out loud and repeating it back to each other until the behaviour changes. At that point, they move on to describing and repeating the new behaviour. And so, it goes on. In this way, they are focussing wholly on the other person, working moment to moment with what is happening in front of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the principles of Meisner, work in your meetings and virtual calls to focus your attention, like a laser beam, on those around you and work moment to moment with what they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to overcome distraction in virtual meetings<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There is so much to break our focus in the virtual realm. The main challenge is that having your own face constantly reflected at you is proven to be both stressful and exhausting, as written about in a National Institute of Health<\/em> paper by Ren\u00e9 Reidl, ‘On the Stress Potential of Videoconferencing: Definition and Root Causes of Zoom Fatigue’<\/a>. My advice, and indeed preference, is to hide your own live feed. It\u2019s usually an option marked \u2018Hide View\u2019 or \u2018Hide Self-image\u2019. Rather than have your eyes constantly darting to your own, onscreen face, you can now focus all your attention on those you are speaking to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tips to improve your focus<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If you want to build the duration and quality of focus, practice in everyday environments. The next time you are on public transport or in a caf\u00e9 or bar, watch the people around you. I don\u2019t mean in a creepy way! Simply home in on their behaviours, on their tics and on their non-verbal leakage (non-verbal behaviour that contrasts with what someone is verbalising). Try to build a picture of what they might be thinking and feeling. The more you practice this, the easier it will be in meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Set a Clear Intention<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once you have placed your focus on those in the meeting, you need to attach an intention<\/strong> to that focus. What are you trying to do? How are you trying to affect those people? Without intention, your business message is like your favourite dish, if it was lacking all seasoning\u2026 bland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A practical way to set an intention is to connect emotions to different parts of your message. Be clear on how you want people to feel in any given moment and then work moment to moment to radiate that through your words, tone of voice and body language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too many dull, lifeless business presentations miss the mark because the \u2018speaker\u2019 has never considered this. If they were to be asked \u201cHow do you want me to feel about that graph\/those figures?\u201d most people might answer \u201cI\u2019ve no idea. I\u2019m just presenting the data my boss asked me for.\u201d Those attending this type of meeting will switch off easily and leave uninspired and unaffected. It\u2019s boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every one of you reading this article is a thinking being, yes\u2026 but you are also a feeling being. The emotional part of all our brains is far more influential than the logical part. We will all have instinctive, gut reactions to people, products, ideas and companies and we will then seek logical reasons to justify those emotions. Wouldn\u2019t it be better then to have people leaving your meeting feeling a deliberate emotion. You may wish to \u2018reassure\u2019 a client, \u2018inspire\u2019 a colleague or even \u2018unsettle\u2019 your boss (if the intention is to draw attention to unaddressed concerns). People in those meetings will be able to follow a message more clearly, will stay engaged for longer and will take away a far greater understanding of the actions and next steps to be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro Do It Too<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There are many well-respected directors who spend weeks of a rehearsal process working through a script and getting their actors to \u2018action\u2019 their lines. What this means is actors will choose a verb, a \u2018doing\u2019 word to attach to every line they speak. This way, when they begin rehearsing and performing, there is intention behind every line and the actors and audience will be affected by every word of the performance. It\u2019s a technique used by some of the greatest actors of our time: James Dean, Dustin Hoffman, Marilyn Monroe, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Daniel Day Lewis and Marlon Brando, to name but a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Choose Your Intention<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As an actor would do performing for a live or recorded show, I recommend the same thing to my clients: preparation, preparation, preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before any business message or communication, write a script or make some notes. As you do, choose the emotion that you want to convey with each part of your message. Depending on who you ask, it\u2019s said that there are between 3,000 and 35,000 words to describe emotions in the English language. If you Google \u2018Wheel of Emotions\u2019<\/a> it will take you to a selection of those words to work from when you prepare your business message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many, the spectre of impostor syndrome is a threat that can loom at any time. Our chimp minds love a worry to fixate on but it can be alleviated and softened. Through focus and setting intention, you can find the security and peace of mind you deserve. And please remember for your next meeting \u201cIt\u2019s not about you\u2026it\u2019s about them<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
