Hi as you might know Im bring the topic of Imposter Syndrome to a Lunch and Learn on Friday this week.
I'm looking for some feedback, if you could give me your thoughts...
1. Have you experienced Imposter Syndrome?
2. Is this something you think is more relevate to female or male dynamics?
I have an idea already but just want to see if it stands up.
Also there is a BIG
shift in the stats I wondered if you knew about it?
High achievers
Perfectionists
Tech engineers
lthe list goes on...
Thanks for your point of view.

1. yes! In many jobs & even within social situations at times.
2. I would say female dynamics however i'm not clued up on the stats!
Anxieties and under confidence in an environment are not fun, however I believe a lot of it would be in our heads.
I reading more and more about this phenomenon and its interesting to see that Imposter Syndrome has less to do with self-esteem...
Here is a perfect quote from Clare Josa, who has just released her book on the subject.
“Imposter Syndrome isn’t just self-doubt in a spiky suit. It’s the gap between who you see yourself as being and who you think you need to be, to succeed and lead.”
