In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we look at how taking a non-traditional career path affects our confidence. My guest, Sandy Silk, shares her personal story of the twists and turns that led her from studying German to becoming a cybersecurity leader at Harvard University. We also discuss the flawed system that overvalues education and undervalues diverse backgrounds.
