“They made a mistake choosing me.”

“They must have overlooked something when they chose me.”

When your voice says:

“They must have overlooked something when they chose me.”

“My doubt knows better than their decision.”


Coach Lynn says:

This thought dismisses the criteria, experience, and judgment that led someone to choose you.

Then you say:

Here’s what I need to do:

  • Take one or more Composure Breaths to settle my body.
  • Look at it from their side: "If I were choosing, what would I have seen in me?"
  • Back it up with one real example such as a past project, a strength people count on, or a result that led here.
  • Pick the most important task on my plate today and start it. Doing the work answers doubt better than debating it.

Coach Lynn says:

Their decision is evidence. Your doubt isn’t the only voice in the room. When you trust what they saw in you, you stop second-guessing and step fully into your role.
