Top quotes:
"Imposter syndrome is when individuals who are actually achieving, they're actually accomplishing, but they don't recognize that those achievements are due to themselves. They attribute those to luck, to others, to circumstance, to situation."
"Imposter syndrome and low confidence is so prevalent 70 to 85 percent of people feel it at some point in their career, odds are someone who you're leading on your team is struggling with it, if not you"
On overcoming:
" I had a folder called good things. And I started to put when someone sent me a nice email, or when someone gave a compliment, I had a folder that I would review if I was having a moment that, I wasn't feeling great, I'd review that, and it's helpful."
"Think of the story that you're telling yourself, separate fact from emotion and going through that process. can actually be super helpful in moving past the feeling"
