In this re-release episode of The Glass Sessions, we revisit one of our most resonant conversations in the archive - all about imposter syndrome and how it actually shows up at work.

We dive deep into imposter syndrome:

• What it is (and what it definitely isn’t)
• How it shows up differently for managers and leaders
• The common reactions that keep people stuck
• Practical tools to interrupt the cycle of self-doubt

We share personal experiences navigating imposter syndrome, especially in moments of visibility, growth, and leadership. We explore the role of both internal and external validation, the importance of psychological safety, and why proactive communication can be one of the most effective antidotes to feeling like you don’t belong.

This episode is a reminder that imposter syndrome isn’t a personal flaw - it’s often a signal that you’re stretching, growing, and stepping into something new.
