Imposter Syndrome Speakers

Impostor syndrome is the psychological experience of feeling like a fraud in some aspects in your life, doubting your skills, talents and/or accomplishments despite any success that you have achieved.

Imposter Syndrome at work can give people fear that colleagues and supervisors expect more from them than they can manage, feeling unable to deliver. They also may avoid taking on additional tasks for fear that they will distract from or compromise the quality of their other tasks and work.
