251: Listener Q&A on (Furry) Imposter Monsters


Listen Later

When was the last time you felt like an imposter in your career? Last year? Yesterday? This morning? It’s so normal (and way more common than you’d realize!) that we cycle through Imposter Syndrome, especially when considering our next moves.

Today I’m riffing on why I think we should ditch the word “syndrome” all together when it comes to this phenomenon, and how to give yourself permission to start taking steps in a new direction (instead of waiting on external approval or credentials). I’ll share when additional schooling does come in handy, and how I’ve made these decisions in the past.

Key questions: Whether you pursue more training or not, what would that next certification (or degree) give you permission to do? What doors would it open? What results would be available in your life and work? How can you start taking small steps forward now, regardless of your decision?
