Imposter syndrome is a common issue that is showing up in young adults as they enter the workforce. Am I competent enough for this job? What are my skills? Will I be able to do this? Today my summer intern, Meredith Barry and I chat about the reality of imposter syndrome in your early 20’s.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Vulnerability is crucial for young professionals to unlock their full potential.
