Have you ever questioned whether you’re good enough? Afraid people will find out you’re not capable? Felt like a fraud? You’re not alone. Imposter Syndrome affects 70% of people at some point in their lives.

So what does it feel like to have Imposter Syndrome? Why is it so prevalent in a high performance culture? Who’s most likely to have imposter feelings? And most importantly - what can we do about it?

In this episode, our hosts are joined by two very special guests who open up about their own experiences of Imposter Syndrome - Sharon Thorne, our incoming Global Chair, and Poppy Jaman, CEO of the City Mental Health Alliance.

Headphones in to find out:

• What it was like for Sharon to be the first female on Deloitte’s Executive
• How Poppy dealt with her symptoms before her meeting at Number 10
• Why even Michelle Obama has suffered from Imposter Syndrome
• Why, in the end, our guests (and our hosts!) are all amazing
