Imposter syndrome SXSW 2019 Proposal

1. Stop
Faking
It!
Overcoming Imposter
Syndrome

SXSW 2019

2. what is
imposter
syndrome?
That very real voice in your head
that tells you that you aren't good
enough, that you are a phony. This
feeling persists regardless and
despite of how intelligent and
capable you truly are.

3. A
F
K
E
R
I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO APPLY FOR
THAT NEW POSITION...
THEY ARE GOING TO FIND OUT I HAVE NO
IDEA WHAT I'M DOING
I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH TO LEAD THAT
NEW PROJECT...
I'M GOING TO FAIL AT THIS...
EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG IS MY
FAULT...

4. You are not alone,
find your allies

5. Own and track your
success

6. Ditch being perfect,
embrace your
strengths and
weaknesses

7. Helping others
succeed will
strengthen your
belief in yourself.

8. Embrace the fear
and jump into it.
Do one thing a month
that scares you.

9. Track your cycle of
doubt, we all have it.
By becoming aware
of what triggers it,
you can help stop it

10. Stop comparing
yourself to others

11. Give yourself the
"Stuart Smalley" pep
talk

12. thank
you!
