Andrew Pain – Imposter Syndrome

Andrew shares his own struggles with imposter syndrome in his professional life, and how it impacted his confidence and decision-making.

Andrew offers several tips for coping with imposter syndrome, including acknowledging and accepting feelings of self-doubt, reframing negative self-talk, seeking support and feedback from trusted peers or mentors, and focusing on personal growth and development.
