076 - Imposter Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment

Project Management Happy Hour

Mar 2 2022 • 47 mins

“I am in way over my head.”

“I have no business doing this job”

“I am totally not worthy of this role”

“There is no way I’m qualified to do this”

Have you ever told this to yourself? You may be infected with Imposter Syndrome! That’s OK - all highly capable people, especially project managers, find themselves with this affliction at one time or another - and again and again :-)

Not only can Imposter Syndrome take the fun and motivation out of your job, we see it holding many professionals back from their potential. So, get treatment today!

We were going to do an episode on Imposter syndrome, but then thought, are we really qualified to do that? Seems like it would take someone with much more experience than us to do it. :-)

In this episode, Kate and Kim share their experience dealing with their own Imposter Syndrome, and share how we deal with it and over come it, and how we coach our mentees to shine in spite of self doubt. Get after it!
