Episode 361: Overcoming impostor syndrome (understanding why it doesn’t make sense)

<p>There is a paradox that lies at the heart of impostor syndrome. On the one hand, people feel that they are incompetent in their role and that it is only a matter of time before their more competent colleagues catch on. And on the other hand, people also believe that they are competent enough to hide their incompetence from people more competent than they are. This duality is almost humorously non-sensical, and appreciating it can go a long way toward resolving the syndrome. However, just for good measure, in this episode, I also discuss how to overcoming feeling like an impostor with actionable steps.</p> <p>Social Media</p> <p>Facebook: <a href='https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622'>https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks'>https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks </a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/oriontaraban'>https://twitter.com/oriontaraban </a></p> <p>Website: <a href='https://oriontarabanpsyd.com'>https://oriontarabanpsyd.com </a></p> <p>Orion's Theme: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ</a></p> <p>Thinking of going to grad school?
