Session

Battles of an Impostor

Have you ever felt like a fraud? Like you did not deserve the opportunities in front of you? Have you ever thought “why me, I should not be here”? Have you feared others might discover you are a fake?

Alternatively, have you seen a talented colleague not recognising their achievements? A colleague who is hesitant to take on a new role?

This is impostor syndrome; I encounter it regularly and fight against it in myself and others. Unite with me in this battle; for yourself, your colleagues and friends.

Join me as I share my experiences with impostor syndrome, how I have fought against it, and how you can join the fight.

The format can be 20min or 10min (lightning)

Recording of the 20min version from DDD Sydney is here: https://youtu.be/t2qr64GN8Qo
