In this video I share 5 research-based tips on how to manage your imposter syndrome. If you’re constantly feeling a lack of confidence about your abilities, doubting yourself, feeling like you don’t deserve your job - despite a strong track record of performance - then you’re likely suffering from imposter syndrome.

So addressing it is important not only for your career success, but also for your happiness.
