Conquering Impostor Syndrome: Lessons from Female and Minority Business Leaders

The paper explores Imposter Syndrome, a phenomenon predominantly experienced by successful women who feel inadequate despite their achievements. It highlights findings from past research that reveal the psychological underpinnings of this syndrome and its differential impact based on gender. The author offers practical strategies to combat these feelings, including self-reflection, focusing on work presentation rather than personal qualifications, and engaging in discussions with peers to normalize experiences of self-doubt. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of recognizing one’s competence and embracing lifelong learning.
