Coaches Collaboration
Confident Coaching: “Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, Self-Doubt & Fear in Your Practice"
Do you ever feel like you’re not "enough" as a recovery coach?
Like maybe you don’t have all the answers, or someone will figure out you’re "faking it"? You’re not alone. Even the most experienced coaches wrestle with self-doubt, fear of failure, or the nagging thought: "Who am I to guide others when I’m still figuring this out myself?"
This collaborative is a judgment-free zone for recovery coaches to:
- Name and normalize imposter syndrome—because it’s not just you.
- Reframe "not enough" thinking into confidence in your lived experience and skills.
- Share practical tools to quiet self-doubt and step into your authority.
- Celebrate small wins (because coaches need support too!)
We’ll explore questions like:
- How do you handle moments when you feel unqualified?
- What’s your "evidence file" against imposter syndrome? (Hint: Your clients’ progress counts!)
- How can we honour our own recovery journey while holding space for others?
- When does self-doubt actually help us stay humble and grow?
This isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about realizing no one does. Together, we’ll turn fear into fuel and self-doubt into deeper empathy.
Who’s this for?
- New coaches afraid they’re "winging it."
- Seasoned coaches who still sometimes question themselves.
- Anyone who’s ever thought, "Am I really making a difference?"
Let’s stop whispering our doubts and start shouting our strengths.
Next steps: Put this into your calendar and commit to investing in yourself by showing up and accepting support, just as we ask our clients to do. Zoom link below.
Shelley Shadow is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.

Coaches Collaboritive
We look forward to welcoming you to our next Coaches Collaboration where we will discuss how to keep the ‘spring in your step’ even as we get bogged down with news and the greyness of winter. SAVE THE DATE! February 22 at 10AM PST. Link below.
Our lovely secretary of the RCC Board, Iris Rich, will facilitate this worthy discussion. As always, we offer a topic to kick us off, but we leave room and capacity for your questions and experiences so we can all learn from one another.
We invite you to think about your own capacity as a coach; how you can keep your mood stabilized, and how do you meet those you work with who may be struggling with low energy or mood?
Please find the zoom link below and save this email for reference.
