How to Conquer Imposter Syndrome

Help us improve Get Hired by taking our listener survey here. Imposter syndrome is a real and pervasive problem. It’s associated with burnout, depression and anxiety, and it holds us back from reaching our full potential and achieving career satisfaction. So, what can we do to conquer it? On this week’s episode of Get Hired, LinkedIn Editor at Large Andrew Seaman speaks with Deesha Dyer, former White House social secretary and author of Undiplomatic: How My Attitude Created the Best Kind of Trouble. Deesha discusses her journey from hip hop reporter to White House intern to social secretary for the Obama administration, and shares how she overcame her feelings of imposter syndrome at work. She also offers advice on practicing self-compassion, challenging negative thoughts and seeking support from colleagues.  Follow Andrew on LinkedIn to join the Get Hired community by clicking here.
