Impostor Syndrome

Hello! You’re probably here because you saw my latest talk on impostor syndrome.

I believe that anyone who wrongly feels like an impostor is able to control this belief, by using the following tips:

Make a habit of collecting evidence that proves your achievements. I personally use a kudos email folder, where I will send myself screenshots of slack messages, emails etc. It could be a journal, a note on your phone… anything that works with your lifestyle.
Talking to other people about your experience – a lot of people feel like this, you aren’t alone
Use it as motivation

Here are some fantastic links and resources:

TEDxSyndey talk by Mike Cannon-Brookes – this one is good if you want to use impostor syndrome to your benefit
