Overcoming Impostor Syndrome
Camille Baldock, @camille_, Software engineer camillebaldock.co.uk
People with impostor syndrome are unable to internalise their accomplishments and are convinced that they are frauds and do not deserve the success they have achieved.
Live demonstration
I’m not the most qualified person to give this presentation
I hope no-one finds out I’m faking it
Now I think about it, I’ve done some public speaking before.
Those had questions at the end, and it’s really hard to fake it
during questions!
So there won’t be any questions at the end of this talk.
This will be my last public talk
Maybe I’ll just write a blog post about it
But the internet is huge! And there are better writers out there.
No-one will read it..
So I’m going to keep those thoughts to myself
Stop that inner monologue
Get perspective
Talk about it
Don’t be afraid
You can do stuff too
Keep track of your accomplishments
Stay humble
