First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge that:

• Feeling insecure about our capabilities is a natural phenomenon, especially when we are new to a role.

• It can be challenging to objectively determine what we know versus what we should know.

• Imposter syndrome is a feeling, not a fact.

To deal with imposter syndrome, we can:

• Understand our role and establish clear expectations and success criteria.

• Reflect frequently on our achievements and failures.

• Seek out more feedback from others.

• Adopt a growth mindset and prioritize growth over status.

• Be open to vulnerability and learn from others.
