Why people shy away from public or group discussion.
A feeling of self-doubt erodes some people when they find themselves in public or group discussions.
This happens more in the career field and organization. People who suffer from this self-doubt tend to shy away from voicing their opinion even when they are knowledgeable about the said topic.
There’s an idea within them that says they are not qualified enough to talk or don’t have the necessary information that will make people listen to whatever they have to say.
This insecurity about their knowledge comes from not seeing themselves as enough which is imposter syndrome.
There’s a need to know every innovation and breakthrough in their industry so they can gain the confidence required to speak in group meetings or feel worthy of their position.
The research and high expectations they set for themselves on being at the forefront of breakthrough knowledge in their career is rarely coming from a place of growing their career and developing their skills
This search for knowledge comes from seeing themselves as not being competent in the workplace.
There’s a huge doubt in their skills and the things they bring to the table. With them not feeling competent enough they try to over search for knowledge and information that takes the edge off.
For these types of people suffering from the expert type of imposter syndrome going to another career workshop won’t work nor reading the new journal about the breakthrough technology in their field
To solve this problem you must see yourself in new light and believe that you are already what you seek to be.

Understand that all these beliefs you have created start from your mind and it can also end with you having the right mindset about yourself, skills, and life in the workplace.
