A talk for self-perceived impostors and their friends
summary
About 70% of people hit impostor feelings and 58% of big‑tech employees report it regularly, and the talk gives concrete fixes: keep a written log of positive feedback, find a career mentor, celebrate small wins, or seek therapy if anxiety grows. Teams adopt confident vulnerability by sharing failures openly, give genuine, specific praise, and lower speaking barriers with short updates and slide karaoke to make technical events less intimidating.
