The second thing I did for overcoming impostor syndrome was just adopting this 1% better mindset that you're not seeking perfection. Every month or every year, you're going to improve yourself a little bit. The third thing is to just say yes to opportunity, even if you don't feel like you're 100% fit. And I think that goes more for applying for roles if you're looking for jobs, if you don't meet 100% of the job description, that's okay, you should still apply. Privacy is such an emerging field, and people encourage diversity, so you never know what your unique skill set would bring to the organisation, and maybe that's what they're looking for. So just say yes to job opportunities. Apply to speak at different conferences. Even if you don't think you have a very compelling story, you are judging yourself more harshly than others are.

Attention Privacy Professionals, this episode is tailor-made for YOU!

Join us as Jamal and Nandita dive deep into the strategies that will skyrocket your career.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Practical tips to continue upskill and stay ahead of the curve.
