Ever feel like you’ve achieved an opportunity you didn’t deserve? It’s possible you brushed shoulders with your “inner imposter”! In this episode, I chat with Rene Dominguez, a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Specialist working in tech. Rene unpacks what it feels like to experience Imposter Syndrome, and ways to successfully manage it for next time.
