Confident At Work

182. Fake It Till You Make It… Then What?


Listen Later

You’ve lived by the motto “fake it till you make it” - but what happens when you actually make it?

In this episode of Confident at Work, we tackle a question that so many professionals face when stepping up into more senior roles: “I’ve made it - now what?”

We explore why the strategy of fake it till you make it can start to backfire:

  • Why “fake it till you make it” has a shelf life
  • How faking confidence can actually fuel imposter syndrome
  • The habits and internal skills you can build to start trusting yourself at work
  • How to move from exhausting pretence to real, sustainable confidence

If you’re stepping into a more senior position, struggling with self-doubt, or wondering how to maintain confidence without faking it, this episode is for you.
