Many women (and sometimes men, too) struggle with Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is more that just low self-esteem: Impostor syndrome (also known as impostor phenomenon, impostorism, fraud syndrome or the impostor experience) is a psychological pattern in which an individual doubts their skills, talents or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". 

Join the Visionista and her guests as they discuss how they've dealt with Imposter Syndrome in their own lives. If this is something you've been struggling with, please know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. To connect with our guests on LinkedIn:
