Do you suffer from Imposter syndrome?

It has been estimated that nearly 70% of individuals will experience signs and symptoms of impostor phenomenon at least once in their life.

• Attributing any success you have to luck or just being in the right place at the right time

• Being fearful of being 'found out'

• Feeling like a fraud

• Believing that the very fact that you got the job / do this work means that it can't be that difficult. Your ability to do something negates the value of it
