Breaking the Imposter Algorithm - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
summary
Claims that around 60% of people in tech experience imposter feelings and that even the lowest companies report nearly half are concrete anchors. Causes listed are lack of representation across gender, disability, age and accent, tying imposter feelings to diversity and inclusion dynamics. Consequences include quitting, settling, not speaking up and lost ideas; the talk frames the cost to companies as hiring and retraining and reputational damage. Practical remedy is to normalize imposter syndrome within organisations, run open conversations and invite a facilitator.
