The Impostor’s Guide to Tooting Your Own Horn
summary
Defines impostor feelings as common and often structural then gives concrete tactics: fake confidence (scripted play‑acting in meetings), externalize the monster (name and tell intrusive thoughts to shut up), regular war councils for reviews (colleagues list achievements and push larger raises), keeping a screenshots folder of praise, reading Valerie Young, and using therapy. Claims these tactics let people accept “good enough,” stop avoidance and procrastination, and actually win more offers and raises rather than disappear.
