Imposter Talks

In this unique episode of Imposter Talks, we step away from our usual corporate interviews to chat with Sam the Magic Man, a professional magician who brings a fresh perspective on imposter syndrome. Sam shares his experiences of feeling like an outsider in high-end settings, reveals how he pushes through discomfort to perform, and even treats listeners to a mind-blowing card trick, demonstrating that imposter syndrome is universal, regardless of one's profession.

In this episode, we have Twisha Shaw, a leader at ServiceNow, who shares her inspiring journey from moving to the US with two suitcases to becoming a tech executive, while offering powerful insights on overcoming imposter syndrome.

In this episode, Kristy Merriam opens up about her battle with imposter syndrome and the power of vulnerability. Learn how Kristy navigated her career transitions and found empowerment by accepting compliments and stepping outside her comfort zone
