Invisible No More
summary
Session names impostor syndrome types from Claire Josa’s 2019 study, points to an online quiz, and labels the coping styles as perfectionism procrastination people-pleasing and paralysis. It prescribes four concrete tactics—pause and test negative thoughts, talk to yourself like a friend, journal and celebrate wins, and seek therapy—and gives workplace moves: recruit sponsors to present your work, use side channels to join decisions, and watch for retaliation (example: dismissal two weeks before Thanksgiving) as a signal to change roles.
