Your Michael Scott Leadership Moment: Tackling Imposter Syndrome with Confidence and Praise

Dear Leaders,

We need to talk about imposter syndrome. You know, that nagging feeling of self-doubt your people—and maybe even you—experience after a big success or opportunity?

Imposter syndrome convinces us that our wins come from luck or timing instead of our own hard work and strengths. It can quietly drain confidence, hinder relationships, and impact productivity. But here’s the good news: as a leader, you can help rewrite this narrative for your team.

In this episode, we’ll talk about:

• How imposter syndrome shows up at work.
• Two simple ways you can help your team overcome it: praising intentionally and starting open conversations.
• Why your leadership matters more than ever in building confidence and fostering stronger relationships.

We know you have the ability to see what we’re doing well. We just need you to help us see it too. Let's rewrite the story of imposter syndrome together.

Love,Your People
