One of the most talented actresses of all time, Meryl Streep, once stated that she sometimes wonders why anyone would want to see her in a movie again. ‘I don’t even know how to act, why am I doing this at all?’ the award-winning actress questioned, thus confirming the thesis that the imposter syndrome affects even the most talented, successful, and best individuals. In fact, research has shown that 70 percent of people have felt this psychological phenomenon at least once, causing them to feel inadequate, unworthy of a certain position or job, and fearing that someone will eventually discover that they are not actually talented or skilled. They find it extremely difficult to accept their own success, and if the imposter syndrome occurs frequently, there is a high chance it will prevent them from fulfilling their full, true potential.
In a new micro-lecture, we reveal how to alleviate the symptoms of imposter syndrome and truly enjoy your own success.
