Listen Later

Imposter syndrome can be a powerful motivator that can push you to work harder, seek feedback, and take on new challenges. In this episode, we discuss how imposter syndrome affects even successful people, especially high performers, and how it can undermine your self-confidence and make you doubt your abilities. However, instead of trying to get rid of these negative emotions, I share strategies for embracing imposter syndrome and using it to your advantage. 

Key Takeaways:

  • Imposter syndrome can be a powerful motivator that pushes you to work harder, seek feedback, and take on new challenges.
  • Instead of trying to get rid of imposter syndrome, embrace it and use it to your advantage.
  • Seek self-discovery, recognize the positive aspects of imposter syndrome, reframe negative thoughts, and connect with others in your desired role to overcome imposter syndrome and become more authentic and confident in your career.
