Everyone believes you are smart and talented. Except you. Secretly, you feel inadequate. You think your success is accidental or undeserved, and you’re afraid of being uncovered as a fraud. You are experiencing “Impostor Syndrome,” a nagging self-doubt that keeps you constantly questioning your value while you compare yourself to other experts in your field or at your firm. It’s nerve-wracking and exhausting, let alone career-limiting. It’s especially prevalent in STEM industries.

Imagine feeling as capable and confident as everyone else thinks you are. Imagine truly enjoying the career for which you worked hard, confidently accepting any new challenge without fear of failure. You can face and embrace failure as a monumental positive pivot point in your career, changing the trajectory toward even greater opportunities.
