Even when you have won your place, with its accompanying title, power and responsibility, it can gnaw inside: insecurity.
Imposter syndrome, fear of failure or feeling inadequate are not individual problems. They are symptoms of a system in which women must constantly prove themselves. In which adaptation is the norm. Without it ever being enough. And without a bed in which they learn to feel enough .
Sisterhood ís that bedding.
Beyond the mask of success to an inner experience of success
You have become that woman. With title, influence, results.
From the outside, the picture is right. You are seen, heard, maybe even admired. But inside? You feel the pressure. The loneliness. The silent question of whether it will ever be enough.
Because what others call success sometimes feels like a facade to you.
A carefully constructed armor in which you have learned to function, but where there is little room for who you really are.
Being strong is your second nature.
You carry a lot without anyone noticing.
You know how to hold your place. How to take up space. But when do you take space for yourself?
And so, slowly, another voice arises within you that makes itself heard more and more often. Which does not want louder, but softer.
Not more, but more real. Which asks:
Is this it, then?
When is my success no longer something that others see, but something that I experience satisfaction inside?
Imposter syndrome is not a personal problem
What if your doubts don’t mean you’re not good enough, or not on the right path, but that you’ve just been going it alone for too long?
Too long without real space to stand still.
To feel what’s going on inside you.
To reflect on who you are, what drives you and where you actually want to go.
Imposter syndrome is not a weakness. It’s an inner signal.
A sign that you’re exhausted from continuing to conform to other people’s images and expectations of who you’re supposed to be.
From always being on edge in environments that vibrate your need to prove yourself.
From never really being able to relax because you feel that whatever you do is never enough.
This is not an individual problem.
It is a reflex of your psyche to an environment that constantly demands adaptation. In which you have learned to prove yourself.
To overcompensate.
To fit into images that have nothing to do with your truth.
And yes, your work environment can trigger, but it’s up to you to outgrow that.
Because wherever you go, you take yourself with you. The trigger lives in you.
And that is precisely why it is your responsibility to face it. Not by forcing yourself.
But by giving yourself the space in which you do not have to fight, but may feel, heal and remember who you really are.
Why sisterhood works as a counterforce
Sisterhood is not a luxury. Not a tea party. And certainly not a weakness. It is a strategic space for growth, healing and leadership.
A place where women do not judge each other, but meet.
Not to compare each other’s pain, but to awaken each other’s strength.
More and more women are seeing through the old frame.
That subtle, patriarchal label that portrayed “women’s groups” as soft, superficial or sentimental.
That label was never innocent.
It was meant to undermine what is deeply valuable: female connection.
In sisterhood a field is created where you may share without shame. Where you don’t have to fear being too emotional.
Where guilt doesn’t have to hold a place in your body.
Where your stories are welcome, not to hold, but to let go.
Women help each other there to heal, to process, to remember.
And that’s exactly why sisterhood is not an accidental by-product of your development path, but a conscious choice. A leadership strategy that doesn’t undermine your firmness, but deepens it.
Leadership does not grow in isolation
You develop leadership not only through knowledge, but through experience.
And above all: by reflecting on that experience. Not on your own, but in a space that feels safe.
Where you can be without having to prove anything.
Where vulnerability is not an exception, but natural. Where emotions do not have to be hidden or thought away, but are simply welcome.
And where intuition does not have to be substantiated, but is recognized as an inner counselor.
A space where leadership is not about numbers, KPIs and plans, but about bearing paradoxes.
About learning to deal with uncertainty.
About daring to follow your moral compass, even when it goes against the status quo.
As I also write in Born to Change the Game:
the imposter syndrome is not a lack of competence. It is a lack of bedding.
True leadership development requires bedding. Not more books. Not another course.
But connection. Recognition. Genuineness.
In sisterhood such a safe bed develops.
Where masks fall off. Where you are seen without judgment.
Where blind spots are not named to correct you, but to bring you back to yourself.
In The Women’s Leadership Program, I see it happening over and over again:
Leadership carried by sisterhood is more powerful, more sustainable and more genuine.
That is not a luxury. That is necessary nutrition.
Not only the coach, but especially your peers contribute to your growth. Women who recognize the silence behind your smile.
They understand the power behind your fatigue.
They mirror you not only with words, but with their presence.
Frequently asked questions about sisterhood
“Will this fit into my schedule?“
Sisterhood doesn’t take time. It gives you time.
Because it gives you energy back. Sharpens your focus. Quiets your head.
“What if I don’t feel safe?“
Psychological safety does not come naturally.
In The Women’s Leadership Program, we consciously build on that.
With rhythm, clear agreements and the space to be present in your own way.
“Do I have to share all my emotions?“
You decide.
Sometimes one look, one tear or one silence is enough to open something that had been stuck for a long time.
“Isn’t it just a group of women affirming each other?“
No. Sisterhood is not an echo.
It is honest, loving confrontation. Not repetition, but deepening.
From survival to embodiment
Not having to carry it all alone anymore. Not having to grasp everything alone.
Not having to prove over and over again that you’re worth it.
There is another way. A way that feels deeper. More right.
More like you.
That’s where leadership begins not with what you do, but with who you are.
You no longer have to do it alone
In sisterhood, you discover the power that already lives within you. Not because you do it perfectly.
But because you dare to sink into your truth.
Because you choose bedding instead of proof. For connection instead of isolation.
You don’t have to do it alone anymore. You really don’t.
