Discuss strategies for overcoming self-doubt and building confidence.
Let’s start by defining imposter syndrome as most people think of it. Imposter Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where individuals doubt their own accomplishments and have a persistent fear of being exposed as a “fraud,” despite evident success and competence. Those experiencing imposter syndrome often attribute their achievements to luck, external factors, or deception, rather than their own abilities or skills. Some manifestations of imposter syndrome in the work environment can include perfectionism, overworking, fear of failure, lack of confidence, and fear of getting feedback. Imposter syndrome can really get in the way of job satisfaction, professional growth and accepting new challenges.
