Imposter Syndrome
Self-confident people seem at ease with themselves and their work. They invite trust and inspire confidence in others. These are all attractive characteristics to have. It is not always easy to be confident in yourself and our internal thoughts can hijack how we feel. This process is known as ‘Imposter Syndrome’.
