Support to help your team members reach their full potential, brought to you by CFRE
For fundraising professionals, impostor syndrome may manifest as feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt when working with donors or on high-stakes projects; voluntarily taking on unachievable goals or, conversely, avoiding failure by evading new responsibilities or opportunities for career advancement; staying silent in staff meetings for fear that a self-perceived lack of knowledge or experience will label them as “frauds”; or downplaying their own success, attributing it instead to luck or efforts other than their own. The end result is that the fundraiser fails to progress and their team’s potential is stifled.
In a profession where turnover and burnout are high, it is crucial to address imposter syndrome to keep your staff thriving and advancing.
