If you have ever been in a situation where you doubted your abilities, then you are probably one of the millions of people experiencing imposter syndrome. What’s more interesting is that imposter syndrome often occurs in highly skilled, accomplished, and experienced individuals. The big question is, why is this always the case? Lewis explains that successful people experience success but fail to internalise it. As a result, the fear of being exposed as a fraud for making mistakes can lead to self-sabotage.
