If you never feel good enough, be it at work or being able to combine all the different roles you have in your life - you are not alone! Imposter syndrome is increasing due to complex job roles, unstable positions, and relentless societal pressure. This, combined with organizations targeting highly skilled but insecure individuals, has led to a surge in insecure overachievers.

But how do you know whether you are an insecure overachiever?

In this Friday coffee chat, Tina & Eleni delve into the traits and behaviors of an insecure overachiever. We discuss the signs to watch out for, the impact it can have on your work and  life, and ways to navigate these tendencies.

Key take-aways:

• Some industries are actively recruiting insecure overachievers
• Usually, rather than feeling external pressure, insecure overachievers feel pressure from within.
• Understanding whether you are an insecure overachiever can help you choose environments that do not reinforce these signs, so you can create more space for personal growth.
