Feeling like you know absolutely nothing is perhaps the worst part of doing a PhD. You know you need to become an expert but often you feel like a complete imposter. One great strategy is to identify areas of your life where you DO feel more competent or confident and consider how to transfer that learning to your PhD. This could be a past or current career or even hobbies and life experiences that you often overlook. In this episode, I’ll talk about why this is so helpful and how to use your expertise to make your PhD progress more easily.
If you found this episode useful, you might like this one on how to overcome imposter syndrome.
