I'd like to hear you talk about impostor syndrome, what is your relationship with it and how to fight it. I'm looking for jobs right now & I feel extremely uncomfortable talking about my skills and achievements and I'm constantly downplaying them.
As someone who has (mostly) overcome imposter feelings, I was thrilled to give my top 6 tips for overcoming imposter phenomenon/syndrome:
- Recognize it as a trauma response, rather than a logical fact
- Get a hobby you are bad at
- Gather empirical evidence of your greatness
- Make a list of your strengths
- Develop a sense of self
- Get over yourself!
