The Dreaded Imposter Syndrome & Ways To Overcome It


Listen Later

In the words of Adam Grant, "Impostor syndrome is a paradox. Others believe in you. You don't believe in yourself. Yet you believe yourself instead of them. If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself? When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them." 


In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we chat about:

◼️ Our understanding of impostor syndrome with some examples, ;
◼️ Factors that increase the likelihood of experiencing impostor syndrome;
◼️ Distinction between self-esteem and (in)security; and
◼️ Things you can do to overcome or harness impostor syndrome
