25. Imposter Syndrome at Work: Why You Still Feel Like a Fraud (Even When You're Not)

You got the promotion. You have the experience. You've done this job a hundred times. And yet there's a voice in your head that's convinced today is the day everyone finds out you have no idea what you're doing.

That's imposter syndrome, and it's not a sign that you're actually incompetent. It's a sign that your nervous system is doing something very specific, something that high achievers are particularly susceptible to, and I'm going to show you exactly what that is and how to stop letting it run your career. Today, you'll get the neuroscience behind why imposter syndrome feels so real, why the people who suffer most from it are usually the most capable, and four concrete tools to quiet that internal fraud alarm for good.
