As a junior doctor I worked with a consultant who sat me down once & said it’s not your fault that u often doubt your skills & judgement. It’s the schooling system. You see these super confident young docs & they’r not necessarily better they were just trained for years to be so.
That was over 20 yrs ago but still resonates. I was not only blaming & shaming myself for not being good enough but also blaming myself for thinking &sometimes showing that. With one affirmative sentence he changed the second bit. He halved the psychological load. Amazing really!
That is the power of #mentoring. Sometimes it’s once sentence coming from someone you look up to, respect and trust.
*one sentence :)
