2024-03-3022 minThe Rhonda Lavoie PodcastImposter Syndrome, the buzzword that we never really understand.So often we will use buzzwords in conversation but do not really feel the definition of the word. I believe Imposter Syndrome is one of these buzzwords. We throw it around like it's no big deal, we label ourselves with it, but never really dive into what that really means. Never unpacking what consequence or negative outcomes can come from continuing to feel like an imposter.
This week we did some of that unpacking! We talked about the different characteristics and types of imposter syndrome plus ideas for dealing with it.
