How to train your impostor
summary
Overview defines impostor syndrome, contrasts it with Dunning-Kruger and cites Maya Angelou's line about being found out; it also frames the impostor paradox (if you were a fraud how could you fool smarter colleagues). Concrete remedies are feedback mechanisms, peer conversations, and a kept yay list, plus the mantra I don't know but I will figure it out. These steps aim to tone the inner voice down and convert vague self-doubt into specific actions to improve.
