In this upcoming podcast, Victoria and I will be discussing the common issue of imposter syndrome. We will explain how imposter syndrome often stems from an overfocus on one's own identity and a lack of confidence in one's skills. However, we believe imposter syndrome can be overcome by shifting one's mindset from an "I" focus to a "we'' focus through teamwork and caring for others. We will explore how committing to constant learning, expanding one's knowledge, and showing up to listen without judgment can help alleviate feelings of fraudulence.
This episode aims to help anyone struggling with doubts in their abilities find community, purpose and the confidence that comes from contributing to others.
