Part 1: How do you live with imposter syndrome?

"Got no time for fake ones, just sip some Cristal with these real ones..."

 

But many of us feel like the fake ones. Let's talk about imposter syndrome! Allison, Josh and Gabe explore the pervasive feeling of imposter syndrome and why many people can feel like frauds regardless of their achievements. In the first of a three-part series, the gang talks about how they've personally experienced imposter syndrome and how it's manifested in different areas of their lives. Experiencing imposter syndrome can be difficult, but maybe there's actually a positive side to it that can drive people to succeed. Whether you're struggling with feelings of inadequacy in your work or just curious about this common experience, this is a great episode to get you thinking about the ups and downs of this issue that hits many professionals.
