Imposter Syndrome
In this episode of State of Wellbeing, host Kevin Sackreiter sits down with Stephen Miedema, Assistant Director of Career Education at SDSU, for an open and relatable conversation about imposter syndrome — that persistent feeling of self-doubt despite clear success and capability. Together, they explore what imposter syndrome is, why it’s so common among both students and seasoned professionals, and how it can impact performance, confidence, and sense of belonging.
Learning Objectives
1. Define imposter syndrome and describe how it commonly appears in academic and professional settings.
2. Recognize emotional and behavioral patterns associated with imposter syndrome.
3. Explain how feelings of self-doubt can affect performance, confidence, and belonging in both student and career roles.
4. Apply strategies for coping and identify campus and community resources that can support mental wellbeing and career confidence.
Processing Questions:
1. What examples of imposter syndrome stood out to you as especially relatable?
2. The conversation highlighted transitions - new roles, new jobs, or new environments - as times when self-doubt often creeps in. Why do you think these moments trigger imposter syndrome?
3. How do you typically respond when you succeed at something? Do you credit your skills and effort or dismiss it as luck or a fluke? How might reflecting more objectively help build confidence?
