Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Many strategists experience imposter syndrome, particularly when they are self-taught and lack formal training. This feeling can be exacerbated by the solitary nature of strategic roles, where individuals are often expected to perform without the necessary support or mentorship. Julian Cole, the founder of the Strategy Finishing School, shares that his own struggles with confidence inspired him to create a program aimed at helping strategists build their skills and overcome self-doubt. Through this initiative, he provides foundational knowledge and confidence to those embarking on their strategic careers.
