Overcoming Self-Doubt: Dominique Dawes & the Power of Delegation

Kate Ginsberg, founder of Queen of To Do, recently attended the US Chamber of Commerce CO-100 Small Business Forum in Washington, DC, alongside co-founder Heather Snaman. The event was filled with meaningful conversations, inspiring speakers, and valuable insights that align with Queen of To Do's mission of helping clients reclaim their time through personalized assistance.

One particular moment that stood out occurred during the forum’s Q&A session with Dominique Dawes, the legendary Olympic gold medal gymnast. A participant asked Dominique if she had ever experienced imposter syndrome and how she managed those feelings. Dominique’s candid response struck a chord with Kate—and perfectly reflected the values Queen of To Do promotes every day.

“You belong in every room you step into,” Dominique shared. She acknowledged that even someone with her incredible achievements has faced moments of self-doubt, but she emphasized the importance of moving forward with confidence, regardless of those feelings. This advice resonates deeply with the philosophy behind Queen of To Do: embracing your worth, delegating what weighs you down, and creating space to thrive.

Kate’s Reflections: Embracing Confidence and Letting Go

Hearing this from someone like Dominique Dawes reminded Kate of how common self-doubt is—even among the most accomplished individuals. For Kate, it was a powerful affirmation that struggling with imposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong or can’t succeed. It reinforced the idea that self-worth isn’t determined by fleeting doubts but by moving forward confidently, even when those doubts arise.

This realization felt especially relevant to Kate’s mission at Queen of To Do. Much like Dominique’s advice about belonging, Queen of To Do encourages clients to embrace their worth by letting go of the tasks that weigh them down. Delegating tasks isn’t about giving up control; it’s about gaining the freedom to focus on what truly matters—whether that’s professional growth, personal fulfillment, or simply finding moments of peace.

Kate left the CO-100 Forum with a renewed sense of purpose, seeing even more clearly how Queen of To Do supports clients through intentional delegation. Just as Dominique spoke about moving past self-doubt, Kate realized that empowering others starts with recognizing when it’s time to seek support.

Dominique’s advice—“You belong in every room you step into”—echoed throughout Kate’s thoughts long after the forum ended. It was a reminder that empowerment comes not only from within but also through meaningful support and delegation.
