What does President Lincoln, Impostor Syndrome, Talent Assessment, and Top Gun Maverick all have to do with one another? In today's episode we're exploring two psychological phenomenons, 'Impostor Syndrome' and the 'Dunning-Kruger Effect'. Each present unique barriers for personal and professional growth. We're kicking it off with a great line from our 16th President: 

'Every man is proud of what he does well, and no man is proud of that he does not well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will  do twice as much of it with less fatigue'

I think one of the  biggest hurdles that smart, talented, and humble people face is that they don't truly know what they do well. Whether through insecurities or  beat down by a hard world, they see only weaknesses that need fixing,  spreading themselves thinly as they try to cover it all.

The shame is that they never get to truly enjoy their talent, feel the  appreciation from others that good talent rewards, nor devote their  heart to work in a manner which doesn't wear down their body or mind. If only they knew their calling...or call sign.
