The Chief Psychology Officer
Ep27 Imposter Syndrome
Show Notes

Imposter Syndrome is something most of us have experienced, or at least been aware of, at some point in our careers, but how can we overcome it? In this episode, the Chief Psychology Officer explores what Imposter Syndrome is, the different biases that contribute to feelings of imposter syndrome, and the underlying causes. Amanda will also discuss Zircon's own research into the link between Imposter Syndrome and resilience, as well as a number of useful changes both individuals and organisations can make to help people overcome the biases that underlie this self-limiting belief.

In this episode, Amanda is being interviewed by Angela Malik.
