Do you feel like you’re faking it? like you don’t feel good enough to do your job? Feeling like you’ve blagged your way through your career? Then like me and hundreds of others, you might be suffering from imposter syndrome.
During my talk I am going to discuss what imposter syndrome is and how it feels. This talk is based on both my personal experiences and those of others. By the end of it I hope you can identify if you are suffering from imposter syndrome and also create a team environment that helps to combat the feeling within your team mates.
About this talk
I have given this talk a many times and conferences and meetups
Recently i went through a period of suffering with imposter syndrome - this was the driver behind me wanting to give this talk. I have since learned that it is far more common than i first realised and i wanted to share my experiences with others.
I first gave this talk as a Lightening talk at work.
