In this talk, we discover what imposter syndrome is and is NOT, where it comes from, and what it is costing us in our professional lives. With that clarity, we’ll move into how your identity plays the most significant role in overcoming imposter syndrome demographically and physiologically, and we’ll dive deeper into identity—how it’s built, what influences it, and what we can control. Understanding the power of identity is the first formidable step in self-mastery. This talk underscores the importance of self-mastery with practical examples and exercises.
