How I Work Turn self-doubt into a strength - not a weakness
Have you ever felt like an imposter?
Of course you have! Because 82% of people have experienced it at some point. Imposter syndrome is the persistent thought we are undeserving of our achievements. People fear they might be ‘found out’ or that they ‘don’t know what they are doing’.
