Imposter Syndrome with Jay Gurden
In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla speaks with Jay Gurden about imposter syndrome!
Science Highlight: You Are Not My Handler! Impact of Changing Handlers on Dogs' Behaviours and Detection Performance
Why is imposter syndrome so common in the dog world?
We care about what we do
Extra pressure
Young industry
Success is related to our dog’s behavior
No path to success like law school
How do you combat imposter syndrome?
Make objective appraisals about what you do know, what you can do, what you’ve proven. If you compare those to your imposter syndrome thoughts, you can see that these are just fake thoughts trying to hold you back
Dunning-Krueger effect plays into it
What are the 5 types of imposter syndrome and how do we combat them?
Perfectionist: people make mistakes. Mistakes help us learn.
Superbeing: what does success actually mean? Can you find success in doing your best?
Natural genius: learning is normal and can take work. You bring things to the field even if you’re not a natural on day 1.
Soloist: we don’t have to do this alone. We can build community.
Expert: it’s about making boundaries with your learning.
Everyone: try to create objective appraisals of what you’ve already done and how far you’ve come. Journaling on the good stuff.
What can we do as mentors/colleagues/mentees to celebrate their worth?
Talk about having the same thoughts regarding imposter syndrome.
