REACT to Imposter Syndrome
summary
Seventy percent of people report feeling like an imposter and a women‑in‑tech survey says 46% want help; this offers a concrete five‑step system called REACT that maps to actions: record outcomes and feedback (notes, saved wins like an RFC or an operational update), evaluate chained negative thoughts, optionally ask trusted colleagues for context, challenge assumptions by placing data left and doubts right, then transform thoughts into reality‑aligned statements — a short exercise claimed to take about five minutes.
