Professional confidence plays a critical role in career growth, yet self-doubt continues to hold many people back from reaching their full potential. Recognizing how widespread this issue has become, IMHO Reviews, a publication known for its in-depth analysis of self-improvement and digital learning tools, has released a review of a program designed to help individuals overcome it, Mindvalley’s “Unshakeable” Quest.

The article, written by Vitaliy Lano, owner of IMHO Reviews, examines whether the program - developed by Shadé Zahrai and Fayçal Sekkouah - effectively delivers on its promise to dismantle imposter syndrome and foster genuine self-determination.
Imposter syndrome, described in the article as an ongoing sense of unworthiness despite clear achievements, remains a widespread issue. According to IMHO Reviews, existing solutions often provide only temporary relief, failing to address the deeper cognitive mechanisms that perpetuate self-sabotage.
The “Unshakeable” Quest presents itself as a focused, short-form intervention designed to challenge those mechanisms. Over the course of 10 days and 11 lessons, totaling approximately 3 hours and 27 minutes of content, the program draws from neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and identity reframing techniques.
Lano approached the Quest from a practical standpoint. “Many programs in the self-help space promise the world but rely on emotional highs that fade,” he noted. “What caught our attention was the 10-day structure - it implies a focus on practical, repeatable habits rather than long-term, esoteric study. We wanted to see what actually sticks once the initial motivation fades.”
According to IMHO Reviews, the Quest is divided into three distinct phases. The first part is a Cognitive Mapping that introduces participants to their own thought patterns and helps identify mental pathways that lead to self-doubt. The second part - Habitual Mastery - focuses on installing four key habits aimed at improving resilience and emotional control. The third part, called Identity Evolution, encourages participants to replace limiting beliefs with more empowering self-concepts.
The article talked about the people behind the Quest. Shadé Zahrai is a global performance educator and Harvard-trained executive coach whose work has been featured in Forbes and The New York Times, with over 100 million views across her TED and social media platforms. Fayçal Sekkouah, Director at Influenceo Global, has coached C-level executives and served as a policy advisor at the G20 Summit. Lano observed that the duo “merge academic rigor with corporate and policy experience, translating complex neuroscience into accessible, actionable strategies.”
According to Lano, the first phase of the Quest introduces metacognition, or the practice of analyzing one’s own thinking. Participants identify their “Three Mind Pits”: Failure to Launch (procrastination), Treading Water (stagnation), and Destination Obsession (achievement addiction). They are then guided through exercises such as “Meet & Beat Your Inner Deceivers,” which personifies negative self-talk into archetypes like The Classic Judge and The Misguided Protector.
Subsequent lessons build the “Four Legs of Self-Determination” - Acceptance, Agency, Autonomy, and Adaptability. Lano noted that this stage demonstrates the strongest link to CBT, focusing on reframing the participant’s relationship with failure and uncertainty. “The program encourages users to see difficulty as an integral part of growth,” said Lano. “Its emphasis on autonomy - controlling what can be controlled - is a practical countermeasure to anxiety-driven self-doubt.”
Lano discussed how Mindvalley’s model prioritizes scientific grounding and accessibility, positioning “Unshakeable” as a bridge between psychological research and personal development. Lano emphasized that the publication’s goal is to test both the product and the company’s methodology, evaluating whether claims of scientific validity hold under scrutiny.
Additional materials, including the R.I.S.E. Above technique, serve as practical reinforcements to the course’s main lessons. These resources aim to help participants replace self-defeating narratives with constructive frameworks for action. The Quest concludes with the module “Cultivate Mastery & Self-Awareness,” which encourages participants to reframe their personal stories.
