To conquer imposter syndrome and boost confidence in internal communication, seeking feedback is essential. Start by encouraging a culture where feedback flows both ways—ask your team for their thoughts on your communication style and ideas. This not only shows you value their input but also helps you see your strengths more clearly. Regular, constructive feedback helps everyone identify areas of growth and recognize their achievements. When you actively seek feedback, it empowers you and your team to feel more confident, knowing you’re all contributing to continuous improvement together. It’s a great way to turn self-doubt into positive growth.

A lot of certainty can come from good measurements. Cling to your data. Often times internal communication can be a thankless job, but if you can measure engagement effectively, if you can see in the numbers that your audiences are interacting with your messages and goals are being achieved, if healthy culture is being developed, you are doing it even if you don’t hear it directly from your stakeholders.

Imposter syndrome comes from not sharing goal levels. Managers should share goals clearly and not raising the bar or changing the goal without close communication. I believe that management levels should show recognition and appreciation to their employees, subordinates and team members to generate a sense of psychological safety to achieve a healthy sustainable organization.

To tackle imposter syndrome and boost confidence in internal communication, start by celebrating wins. Regularly highlight team achievements in newsletters or meetings, so everyone feels valued. Share individual success stories to show how others have overcome challenges—this not only inspires but also helps people see their own potential. Encourage peer recognition, where employees can shout out each other’s efforts. This builds a supportive culture. And don’t forget to give regular, positive feedback to reinforce that everyone’s making a meaningful impact. When success is shared, confidence naturally grows, and imposter syndrome fades.

I am a huge fan of mentorship - It can be a powerful tool. Connecting with a mentor provides guidance, support, and reassurance. A mentor can help you navigate challenges, share their experiences, and offer constructive feedback, which helps you see your strengths more clearly. Having someone in your corner to validate your skills and encourage you can make a huge difference in your confidence. Plus, as you grow, you can mentor others, which reinforces your own abilities and creates a positive, supportive cycle within the organization.
