Dealing With Imposter Syndrome at Work

Imposter syndrome is the persistent belief that your success is undeserved and that others will eventually expose you as less capable than you appear, and it is remarkably common among competent, high-achieving people across every field and career stage. If you've been doubting whether you actually earned your place at work, you're not alone, and the doubt itself doesn't mean you're right. Understanding what's driving this pattern is the first step toward loosening its grip.
