Clare Josa on acknowledging and ditching imposter syndrome - MAF224

This week my guest is Clare Josa and we talk about imposter syndrome.

In a world increasingly recognising the importance of mental health and well-being, it's equally important to acknowledge this condition which can affect even the most confident and successful people.

Let's grab a coffee and talk to Clare about it.

Welcome to episode 224 of the Marketing and Finance Podcast.

We chat about:

• My experience with imposter syndrome 35,000ft above the Alps
• What imposter syndrome is and how it makes us feel
• The difference between imposter syndrome and self-doubt
• How imposter syndrome can worsen the gender pay gap
• Should we consider imposter syndrome alongside other mental health and well-being issues?
• The ABC method of dealing short term with an attack
• 5 steps to ditching imposter syndrome forever
