Lightning Talk: Impostor Syndrome
summary
Claims that impostor syndrome is common across genders but hits visible minorities harder and that it holds back diversity and product quality. Advises concrete practices: keep a journal of wins and failures, embrace feedback rather than chalking success up to luck, and expose knowledge gaps so teams can teach. Argues psychological doubt coexists with real skill, recommends normalizing “stupid” questions, asking for help, and treating learning as an ongoing team safety issue.
