There’s an Imposter in this room!
summary
Claims that about 85% of people experience impostor feelings and cites a study of 150 high‑performing women; describes an imposter cycle (anxiety → procrastinate or overprepare → succeed → dismiss success) and warns of maladaptive perfectionism. Offers concrete tools: a 2 hours/week timebox called “imposter time,” a thought ladder, a CBT-style challenge notebook, a positive-qualities list, a compliment-acceptance exercise with post-its, mentorship and Slack groups. Shares one personal result: passing a certification with 97% after overpreparing.
