Feeling like a fraud?

“

- You might think that high-achievers throughout history like Maya Angelou or Albert Einstein had nothing but the utmost confidence, but you'd be wrong. Maya Angelou once said herself, I've run a game on everybody, and they're going to find me out. Albert Einstein has described himself as an involuntary swindler whose work didn't deserve as much attention as it had received. Turns out this feeling of being a fraud is far from exceptional. If you've ever found yourself feeling unworthy of promotions, opportunities or accolades, constantly worried about being discovered as a fraud who doesn't belong. Or chronically needing to prove yourself time and again in your role, despite a track record of positive past performance, this is the LinkedIn learning course for you. I'm Emilie Aries, an author podcaster and career consultant. And together we'll unpack what imposter syndrome is, how it can hold back even the highest of achievers, and how we can take steps to actively overcome it.
