127: Deep Dive | How to Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Published: Nov. 29, 2018, 9 a.m.

Gabriel Mizrahi (@GabeMizrahi) joins us for this deep dive into identifying and overcoming imposter syndrome -- the sinking feeling that your accolades are unearned, your successes are undeserved, and you'll be discovered for the fraud you (think you) are at any moment by somebody -- anybody -- more qualified than you (which only seems to be everybody)!

What We Discuss with Gabriel Mizrahi:

  • Why you're not alone in feeling pangs of imposter syndrome (or imposter experience or imposter phenomenon, depending on who you ask) -- it strikes nearly everyone (even elite athletes and military special forces) from time to time.

  • The three behaviors that should help you avoid feeling imposter syndrome but counterintuitively tend to reinforce it.

  • And much more...
