Hello Scrutiny

Eric Lindsay
Aptitude Leadership Coaching

There’s a moment in a recent interview with Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla that really stuck with me. He was asked about the challenges of leading one of the best teams in basketball, and his response was simple but profound:

"If you want to be the best, you have to accept everything that comes with it."

That includes pressure. Scrutiny. And yes...self-doubt.

Imposter syndrome often creeps in when we step into spaces where we are stretching beyond what we’ve known. It’s the byproduct of choosing a path that demands growth. If you’re feeling out of place, it’s likely because you are pushing yourself to rise.

The truth is, those who never feel imposter syndrome are usually the ones who stay in their comfort zone. But you? You’re moving forward. And that means learning to coexist with self-doubt while refusing to let it define you.

So, the next time you feel like an imposter, ask yourself: Am I feeling this because I’m exactly where I need to be?

Keep growing, keep stretching, because you belong...despite what your voice or external factors tell you.

So what’s one step you can take today toward something that excites you, even if it scares you?

In my 12-week program, I’ll provide you with the clarity, tools, and confidence to break free from self-doubt and step into your true potential.

It’s about adding value through small, intentional actions...whether that’s encouraging someone who needs it or standing firm in your values. Salt...
