Podcast appearances and mentions of pauline rose clance

Pauline Rose Clance (1938 - present) is a psychologist most famous for co-authoring the research paper that first coined the term “imposter phenomenon.” Commonly known as “imposter syndrome” today, the phenomenon Pauline discovered has helped countless women better identify and navigate their feelings of inadequacy in academic and professional settings.

These activists, writers, artists, and scholars used language to shape ideas and give voice to experiences that once had no name. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Today's episode brings routesetter Ethan Paris to the recording studio. Paris comes from a film and creative background, giving him a unique perspective on how routesetters operate in a space that can be defined half by art and half by design. Hailing from the Northeast, he moved to Colorado in 2024 to set at the Climbing Collective gyms in Longmont, Loveland and Greeley. Paris is a USAC Level 2 routesetter and has set for over 20 local and USAC competitions nationwide. He's also participated in the Setter Showdown in Hawaii, taken setting clinics in London, and hopes to one day set for national-level events. Host Holly Chen talks to Paris about the prevalence of imposter syndrome in the routesetting industry. They explore the origins and characteristics of the phenomenon, from the term's conception in 1978 to how imposter syndrome impacts today's modern routesetting community. They talk about how it manifests across the gender spectrum, and how difficult it can be to overcome. Finally, they discuss how community is often the ticket out.

In 1978, psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes published the first study on imposter syndrome—originally termed “imposter phenomenon”—about high-achieving women feeling like frauds at work… and it struck a major nerve. The study kicked off decades of frenzied discourse, programs, and merch aimed at curing women of this irrational feminine disease. Among the proposed treatments included professional development conferences, self-help books like The Imposter Cure, and power poses. Use of the term imposter syndrome has only increased, but I have questions. Like… why are these conversations so gendered? Does anyone NOT experience imposter syndrome? What if you don't even feel qualified to have imposter syndrome? Is it really a diagnosable “syndrome” in the first place? And either way, how can we stop feeling this way??

In EP26 the EQ Gents dig into a well-known inhibitor for many aspiring leaders looking to propel their careers.  The term, known as ‘Imposter Syndrome' or ‘Imposterism', was first identified by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes in 1978, to describe a pattern where individuals doubt their accomplishments and harbor a persistent fear of being exposed as a "fraud."  The term was further popularized by Dr. Valerie Young's book in 1980 called, The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, wherein Dr. Young identifies 5 archetypes of ‘Imposter Syndrome' commonly seen in females in the workforce.  More recent research has led to the conclusion that males also suffer from ‘Imposter Syndrome' to the same degree as females. In this episode, our co-hosts will take a deep dive into Imposter Syndrome, specifically how it shows up and detrimental impacts unchecked Imposter Syndrome can have on one's mental health and career performance.  No doubt, the EQ Gents have had their own personal battles with Imposter Syndrome which they share throughout this enlightening episode.   Topics: 1)     Explaining the origin story of ‘Imposter Syndrome' and how it became widely known as a career killer. 2)    The common signs and symptoms one should look out for to determine if they are being plageud by Imposter Syndrome.3)    The five (5) archetypes of Imposter Syndrome 4)    Strategies the EQ Gents have personally employed to get through their own struggles with Imposter Syndrome over the years. Also make sure to check out our host Ismail Qadry's personal Imposter Syndrome Survival Guide, with helpful tips and tricks to overcome your Imposter Syndrome.  Click this link to access: https://eq.ismailqadry.com/Link to Dr. Valerie Young's Book - The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women - https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Thoughts-Successful-Women-Impostor/dp/0307452719Feel free to send us an email at info@emotionalintelligents.com and share your thoughts or visit us at https://linktr.ee/emotionalintelligents

In this episode of the Let's Go Let's Grow Podcast, Des Penny is joined by Richard Dore, Co-CEO at Proteus Leadership, to discuss the imposter syndrome. They discuss the prevalence of the imposter syndrome, particularly among those in leadership positions, and how it can be incredibly daunting and inhibiting. However, they also discuss how individuals and workplaces can leverage those crippling moments of self-doubt and turn them into opportunities for personal development, transformation, and growth. The term imposter syndrome was originally coined as the imposter phenomena in the 1970s by psychologists Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes to describe the phenomena they observed among high-achieving training women who believe that they were not as competent or intelligent as others perceive them to be. Find out if Des and Richard experience imposter syndrome and how prevalent it really is.

Le syndrome de l'imposteur, vous en avez déjà entendu parler ? Ce syndrome, c'est le fait d'avoir le sentiment d'être incompétent, de ne pas mériter ce que l'on a et, surtout, qui persiste malgré les succès scolaires ou professionnels. Tout d'abord, une idée préconçue, ce syndrome est essentiellement féminin. Si l'on croit cela, c'est notamment parce que ce syndrome a été théorisé en 1978 la psychologue Pauline Rose Clance à une époque où les inégalité femmes/hommes étaient beaucoup plus fortes, mais surtout, leur étude a porté sur 150 femmes… et aucun homme. Ce syndrome touche effectivement plus les femmes que les hommes, comme l'a montré une étude KPMG de 2021, 75 % des femmes en aurait été victime, contre 50% des hommes. Mais, chose interessante, une étude américaine a montré que les conséquences de ce syndrome sont plus fortes chez les hommes que chez les femmes qui, depuis longtemps, ont l'habitude d'être soupçonnées d'incompétence. Sous stress, les hommes victimes du syndrome seraient moins forts que les femmes En fait, l'origine de ce syndrome est simple, Il s'agit essentiellement d'un conflit entre la perception que l'on se fait des autres et la façon dont on se perçoit soi-même. L'autre est forcément plus fort, plus intelligent, plus pertinent, plus brillant. Lutter contre le syndrome se fait en mettant en cohérence les trois images que l'on a de soi : ce que l'on voit dans le miroir, la personne idéale que nous souhaiterions être, et l'image que l'on imagine que les autres ont de nous. Pour y arriver, il faut déterminer avec précision ces 3 images.1️⃣ Faites la liste de ce que vous aimez en vous professionnellement2️⃣ Faites la liste des compétences qui vous font douter de vous3️⃣ Demandez à quelques collègues qui vous connaissent bien de faire la liste de vos compétences et de vos points améliorables En comparant ces trois listes, vous déterminerez vos véritables points forts sur lesquels vous n'aurez plus le droit de douter et, surtout, les points sur lesquels vous devrez travailler.

Your success and achievement is the result of your efforts, talents and skills–not luck! So why do many of us still feel like we don't belong, or even worse, don't deserve the kudos, rewards, titles and positions that we possess? The answer: Imposter Syndrome.    Imposter syndrome was “discovered” in the 1970s by two psychologists, Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanna Imes.  They studied graduate and undergraduate students and found it to be very prevalent in women, ultimately designing a scale and a test to identify levels of imposterism - see the link to the test below.  Imposter syndrome is not a mental health diagnosis or condition, rather it is an experience most of us have at some point - and many experience it frequently - up to 80% according to some studies.   Imposterism is the persistent inability to believe one's success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved as a result of one's own efforts; the internal experience of believing one is not as competent as others perceive one to be, a fraud.  It is the belief that success and achievement are luck or a coincidence.  In low doses, these feelings and beliefs are just part of the human experience.  In higher doses, imposterism interferes with our ease, meaning and joy at work.     Imposterism looks like: An inability to realistically assess our competence and skills Attributing success to external factors Berating your performance Fear you won't meet expectations Setting very challenging goals and feeling disappointed when you fall short Perfectionism  And it feels like anxiety,fear and self-doubt.   Interestingly, recent data suggests it is just as prevalent in men - and the effects on men may be more significant and these effects cause more significant impacts to performance.    We can be more vulnerable to imposterism by our upbringing (valuing of achievement, controlling parents, high-levels of conflict); a new experience or challenge; our personality (anxious, lack of confidence, perfectionism).   Consistently, the smart folks have similar strategies to address the imposter syndrome.  First - mindset - what if we take the approach that imposter syndrome is a growth opportunity rather than a deficit?  Second - tell the truth - the imposter is like a mean friend - call her out with your higher self, your own heroine - or your Sage (remember the foil to our Saboteur?).  Have you really always failed? Is this experience really certain to be a disaster?  Consider other situations that have been successful - or even not a failure - draw on experiences where your decisions and actions have worked out and apply them to the current situation - spend time revisiting positive experiences and feedback.  Peter Shepherd, who has an excellent TedTalk on this subject, calls it the two-step - like a dance - when a negative thought arises, address it with an evidence based analysis of your experience.       Clance IP Scale Prevalence, Predictors, and Treatment of Impostor Syndrome: a Systematic Review - PubMed (nih.gov)  The Surprising Solution to the Imposter Syndrome | Lou Solomon | TEDxCharlotte - Bing video What if imposter syndrome is a good thing? | Peter Shepherd | TEDxUniMelb - Bing video

According to psychology today, "people who struggle with imposter syndrome, believe that they are undeserving of their achievements. They feel that they aren't as competent or intelligent as others might think. They think people will discover the truth about them and this truth will be the opposite of what the people actually believe. Those with imposter syndrome are often well accomplished. They may even hold high office or have numerous academic degrees."The imposter syndrome is a term coined by Dr. Pauline Rose Clance in the 1980s. In fact, at the very beginning of research on imposter syndrome, it was only associated with high achieving women. Research subsequently found that over 70% of us suffer with imposter syndrome at some point.  In fact, if you are a high achiever, the research suggests that you are 25 to 30% more likely to suffer from this imposture syndrome.In this episode Michel discusses mindset, mentorship and other strategies to address the imposture syndrome. She shares the story of Paul, a senior IT engineer, who has very strong communicator skills and a great ability to deliver presentations. Paul is admired by his peers and clients but doesn't agree with their assessment of his abilities because he suffers from the imposter syndrome. Michel suggests that our ability to accurately assess ourselves will give us a better, more holistic view of our strengths, our talents alongside the areas that we need to improve.When an organization has high achievers like Paul within it who have great skills and competencies and are held back by the imposter syndrome, it impacts Paul, it impacts his teammates and the organization.Please go to UpSkillCommunity.com to review show notes and join a community of leaders investing in better understanding themselves so they can address the imposter syndrome in their work and lives.

Welcome to episode 10(ish) of series 3 where Lisa does a mini-breakdown of Imposter Syndrome and why its use as a catch-all term is  problematic. Lisa discusses a tweet posted by @theconsciouslee from Juana Hollingsworth (@jewelsfromjuana) about how Dr. Amanda Tachine (@atachine) explained that the original concept of Imposter Syndrome was theorised in 1978 by two White women (psychologists Pauline Rose Clance & Suzanne Imes) to describe how a large majority of women, disproportionately Black women and women of Colour, are marginalised within the corporate environment. While the tenets of Imposter Syndrome may ring true for many women, for Black women and women of Colour, this term erases or, at the very least, minimises the impact of systemic racism and the many obstacles it presents them with in the workplace. It makes systemic issues the fault of each individual woman, forcing her to endure and try to resolve them each and every day that she shows up to work. The hope is that the information discussed today will help to inform how we look at the experiences of Black women and women of Colour in the corporate world and how the White-centric focus of academia, which influences the terminology we use in the workplace and wider world, can further marginalise those who exist outside of that focus.- The February 2021 Harvard Business Review article entitled "Stop Telling Women They Have Imposter Syndrome" by Ruchika Tulshyan and Jodi-Ann Burey informed this episode - please read it! - Please check out our "Feminism 101" suggested reading list here if you're at a loose end for a great read from a Feminist author.- Find out more about the amazing artists, Nubefy, behind the graphics we use here.

Dr. Baucum is a professor who teaches marketing-focused courses to undergraduates and Master of Business Administration (MBA) students. She specializes in working with businesses and organizations that either are owned by black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) and/or serve BIPOC. Dr. Baucum conducts quantitative research focused on understanding how brand symbols influence the consumption behaviors and habits of BIPOC.   The pursuit of PhD excellence begins the moment you choose to apply to your program and continues until you walk across the stage at your graduation ceremony, and beyond! In this episode, we speak with Dr. Natalie Baucum about her experience obtaining her doctorate and how she uses this experience to support BIPOC students who are making the same journey in their own lives.   Being a woman in STEM and getting over imposter syndrome (IS) Impostor syndrome is a term coined by two American psychologists, Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. In 1978 they were the first to study the phenomenon in high-achieving women. As such, it is also known as the impostor phenomenon (IP). Women affected by IP experience persistent feelings of intellectual fraudulence. This feeling can affect their academic or professional careers, their self-perception, and their interactions with others (for example students). They have an intense fear that if other people know about their true level of ability, that they will no longer be seen as successful. It has been suggested that the frequency at which impostorism affects women makes it both a significant and understudied problem for girls' achievement. Although the majority of research into the topic has focused on women, IS does not appear to be gender-specific; prevalence amongst men has been reported too. Additionally, the concept is increasingly being used to describe a broader range of experiences than originally defined by Clance and Imes. Studies indicate that between 70% and 95% of all people have experienced the impostor phenomenon sometime during their lives. It has been found to impact school performance, work productivity, interpersonal relationships, job satisfaction and mental health.   Getting involved in social justice issues while pursuing your PhD We often feel that our PhD work is a solitary enterprise, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, your academic work can inspire others. It can make a difference in the lives of your peers and colleagues in the university community as well as people outside of it.   However, getting involved isn't something you do on the side; social justice issues are very much intertwined with the process of being a scholar. Getting involved isn't just an extra-curricular activity—it's integral to who we are as academics and members of society.   Dealing with being Black in academia and facing racism in your department/thesis committee Being a person of color in academia is an experience unlike any other. In fact, it can be summed up in one word: racism. This experience varies greatly from individual to individual, yet all POC share some similar struggles when entering a predominantly white academic environment. One of the most difficult aspects is dealing with racism as an integral part of your university experience. Oftentimes, issues pertaining to race are never discussed or acknowledged for fear that people would think less of you for being Black/Latino/Asian/Gay/Transgender (insert identity here). However, how do we address problems in our communities if they aren't acknowledged? If you are pursuing a PhD in the Sciences or Engineering, chances are your department or thesis committee is predominantly white. How then do you deal with being black in academia and facing racism in your department/thesis committee? Here is my personal approach based on my own experiences and observations as a black woman who has been involved in higher education for over a decade. It may not work for everyone, but perhaps sharing these insights might help others deal with their unique situation.    At SouthernSoulLiveStream.com - Show & Music Hangout we cover a variety of topics, this week we're hosting an episode for scholars, researchers, students, academics, and lifelong learners.   Connect with Dr. Natalie Baucum Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thepolymathicprofessor/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepolymathicprofessor/   Connect with Southern Soul Live Stream: Website: www.SoulLiveStream.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SouthernSoulLiveStream/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/southern_soul_livestream/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/soul_livestream

Often when we are put in a place where we have to show our knowledge and expertise about a certain topic, we doubt ourselves and feel like we are a fraud.  These self-limiting beliefs and harmful narratives are known as the Imposter Syndrome. Imposter Syndrome is usually seen in accomplished people who feel uncomfortable accepting or even recognising their achievements. In this episode, I have a value-filled conversation about how to overcome Imposter Syndrome aka Imposter Phenomenon with Fiona Redding. Fiona is a mindset and meditation coach, speaker, and author. The term Imposter Syndrome was originally coined by university professor Pauline Rose Clance in 1978. She had women students who were academically good but would downplay or dismiss their potential.  She realised that it's not just a syndrome but it's a phenomenon that happens to all genders. From then on, the concept of the Imposter Syndrome was widely explored.  Fiona explains that we have a set of programs and beliefs about ourselves that affects our emotional state. When we do things that we haven't done before, we're going to get shown that this is not okay. This is what we call stepping out of our comfort zone. The moment we step into unfamiliar territory, self-doubt starts creeping in. We fail to see our brilliance, and we resort to feeling inadequate and reducing our self-worth. Fiona mentions that this phenomenon can happen anytime, and it's best to know the actions that you can do when it strikes. The initial phase should start with having awareness. We have to be aware of what we're thinking and feeling. It also helps to know your truth, ask yourself if your thoughts and feelings are true or are they a product of the imposter phenomenon. You can also employ the help of other people who see things from a different perspective.  Remember that the Imposter Syndrome doesn't choose its victim, you need to be ready when it shows up, and eventually, you will get better at how to deal with it.

En décembre, Travail (en cours) prend une petite pause, mais on a eu envie de vous faire découvrir des épisodes d'Emotions, un autre podcast de Louie Media, qui a fait de super épisodes sur des émotions qu'on ressent au travail. Cet épisode de Cyrielle Bedu, qui s'intéresse au syndrome de l'imposteur, a été diffusé pour la première fois le 14 octobre 2019.On entend parler partout du syndrome de l'imposteur, les blogs, les articles de développement personnel, et beaucoup dans les podcasts… Pour savoir si vous aussi vous en êtes atteint, vérifiez que vous cochez ses cases. Il y en a trois: - l'impression de tromper son entourage, de ne pas être à la hauteur de ne pas mériter sa situation ou sa place actuelle. - la mauvaise attribution, c'est à dire attribuer sa situation à des facteurs essentiellement externes comme la chance le hasard ou une erreur. Vous avez eu une bonne note, un super boulot, une augmentation, mais ce n'est pas grâce à vous, non non, vous étiez juste au bon endroit au bon moment, ou ce sont vos relations c'était juste vraiment facile… - et puis il y a la peur qui en découle de pouvoir un jour ou l'autre être démasqué par les autres, qui est une peur irrationnelle dans la mesure où tous les indices objectifs de compétences et d'intelligence sont là, mais vous restez avec cette peur là.Si vous cochez toutes ces cases, alors vous êtes atteint.e de ce syndrome. Mais rassurez-vous, car selon Pauline Rose Clance, l'une des psychologues à l'origine de l'identification du phénomène dans les années 70: 60 à 70% de la population mondiale peut être amené à ressentir au moins une fois dans sa vie, les effets du syndrome de l'imposteur. Dans cet épisode, nous essaierons de comprendre pourquoi il nous hante tant !A lire sur le sujet - la psychologue Pauline Rose Clance, autrice du Complexe d'imposture ou comment surmonter la peur qui mine votre sécurité publié chez Flammarion. Elle a aussi mis au point un test pour nous aider à savoir si on est concerné par le syndrome.- le psychologue Kévin Chassangre qui a co-écrit le livre Cessez de vous déprécier : se libérer du syndrome de l'imposteur publié aux éditions Dunod, et- la psychiatre, neuroscientifique et coach Tara Swart qui a écrit La Source publié aux éditions Leduc.s. Et vous, êtes vous parfois atteint du syndrome de l'imposteur et si c'est le cas, comment faites-vous pour y faire face quand vous le ressentez ?

Solo episode and a two part episode with 2 completely different topics that have been on my mind and I'm dealing with. Dealing with Imposter syndrome and dealing with the dark side of yoga or the judgmental side. What is Imposter Syndrome? Impostor syndrome—the idea that you've only succeeded due to luck, and not because of your talent or qualifications—was first identified in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. In their paper, they theorized that women were uniquely affected by impostor syndrome. I talk about having it and dealing with it and ways to help move past it. The Dark Side Of Yoga. This is in all areas of the fitness industry I think. I want to first say I have not experienced this in any yoga studios I have taught at, went to, or any teachers in my area. For the most part I think the Cleveland area has a very supportive yoga and fitness community. I am talking about social media, Facebook groups, and Instagram accounts. Yoga we are taught to have compassion and non-judgment so I have had to take a step back and unfollow a lot of the Facebook Groups I was in. Yoga has become very popular and I think a lot of teacher, myself included are trying to teach it and bring it to everyone in a way that everyone feels comfortable practicing it. Traditional Yogis do not like this and think it is not real yoga. I talk about how I teach and practice. I believe in bringing yoga and fitness to everyone and making it all inclusive and I will continue to teach that way. This world needs more love and compassion and less judgment. In this episode: 5:40 - If you experience these characteristics you may have Imposter Syndrome. 6:35 - Why someone has Imposter Syndrome 8:02 - Ways to move past Imposter Syndrome 9:13 - Stop comparing yourself to others 12:12 - Why I unfollowed yoga Facebook Groups and what I mean about the Dark Side Of Yoga. There seems to be a lot of judgment in a practice that is supposed to live by non-judgement. 18:00 - Embrace everyone, have compassion for all.

What is Impostor Syndrome?It's the idea that you've only succeeded due to luck, and not because of your talent or qualifications.  It was first identified in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes.Where does it originate?Some experts believe it has to do with personality traits—like anxiety or neuroticism—while others focus on family or behavioural causes,Some childhood memories, such as feeling that your grades were never good enough for your parents, or that your siblings outshone you in certain areas, can leave a lasting impact and make you feel like you're not enough. institutionalized discrimination, can also play a major role in spurring impostor feelings. The feeling of alienation, not seeing others that look like you in successful spaces, being told that you have to work twice as hard as the rest to show your worth, keeps you feeling like you're  never good enough…that you have to outperform everyone else to be worthy.Perfectionists who set high expectations of themselves can feel like a failure if they don't meet 100% of the requirements.  Any small mistakes can leave them questioning their competent.Taking on the “Super woman” role can also leave us feeling stressed and  exhausted from the need to attain unrealistic expectation  in all areas of their lives What are the Symptoms?Feeling like and imposter can happen to anyone; The Imposter syndrome doesn't equate with low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence. High achieving, highly successful people often suffer from imposter syndromeThe ultimate reason why we suffer from imposter syndrome is to protect our ego.  We take on roles and anything that can damage that image becomes a threatening.We don't feel at a deeper level that we are worthy! We have the need to proof  to others our sense of worthiness.You may feel that you're not good enough! That you  have not achieved enough! That you have so much to do before you can claim any success.“I must not fail” – the pressure not fail which leads to an inability to seek success and to enjoy success when we get it.“I feel like a fake” - Imposters believe they do not deserve success or professional accolades and feel that somehow others have been deceived into thinking otherwise, they have deep feelings that they lack.“Success is no big deal” - The tendency to downplay their abilities or success and discount their value … they may say things like" I had a lot of help" or "It's easier than it looks".Is there a Cure?Unfortunately here's no cure.  Most people experience moments of doubt, and that's normal and part of everyday emotions. The important part is not to let that doubt control your actions.One of the first steps to overcoming impostor feelings is to acknowledge the thoughts and put them in perspective. The goal is not to never feel like an impostor, the goal for is to have the tools and knowledge to deal with the imposter feeling or thought when it comes up.  Some helpful tips to keep to help you avoid the imposter syndrome taking over your life:Have fun! Don't take yourself too seriouslyUnderstand that you don't have all the answers and that you still have more to learn and that's an opportunity for growthValue your current position and know that there's great benefit in what you have to offerConnect to your WHY.  Know that you are not doing this to impress people or to get their approval.  It's not about you … it's about the service you are providing.Excited to hear from you! Please share you takeaways and comments :)

I'm Mando Escamilla and I'm here with my friend, Mae Beale. MANDO: Hi, there! And I am also here with Casey Watts. CASEY: Hi, I am Casey! And we're all here with Adam Ross Nelson, our guest today. Welcome, Adam. ADAM: Hi, everyone! Thank you so much for having me. I'm so glad to be here. CASEY: Since 2020, Adam is a consultant who provides research, data science, machine learning, and data governance services. Previously, he was the inaugural data scientist at The Common Application which provides undergraduate college application platforms for institutions around the world. He holds a PhD from The University of Wisconsin: Madison in Educational Leadership & Policy Analysis. Adam is also formerly an attorney with a history of working in higher education, teaching all ages, and educational administration. He is passionate about connecting with other data professionals in-person and online. For more information and background look for his insights by connecting with Adam on LinkedIn, Medium, and other online platforms. We are lucky we have him here today. So Adam, what is your superpower and how did you acquire it? ADAM: I spent so much time thinking about this question, I really wasn't sure what to say. I hadn't thought about my superpower in a serious way in a very long time and I was tempted to go whimsy with this, but I got input from my crowd and my tribe and where I landed was teaching, learning, and education. You might look at my background with a PhD in education, leadership, and policy analysis, all of my work in education administration, higher education administration, and teaching and just conclude that was how I acquired the superpower. But I think that superpower goes back much further and much deeper. So when I was a kid, I was badly dyslexic. Imagine going through life and you can't even tell the difference between a lowercase B and a lowercase D. Indistinguishable to me. Also, I had trouble with left and right. I didn't know if someone told me turn left here, I'd be lucky to go – I had a 50/50 chance of going in the right direction, basically. Lowercase P and Q were difficult. For this podcast, the greater than sign, I died in the math unit, or I could have died in the math unit when we were learning greater than, or less than. Well, and then another one was capital E and the number 3, couldn't tell a difference. Capital E and number 3. I slowly developed mnemonics in order to learn these things. So for me, the greater than, less than pneumonic is, I don't know if you ever think about it, but think of the greater than, or less than sign as an alligator and it's hungry. So it's always going to eat the bigger number. [laughs] It's always going to eat the bigger quantity. So once I figured that mnemonic out and a bunch of other mnemonics, I started doing a little bit better. My high school principal told my parents that I would be lucky to graduate high school and there's all kinds. We can unpack that for days, but. MANDO: Yeah. ADAM: Right? Like what kind of high school principal says that to anybody, which resonates with me now in hindsight, because everything we know about student learning, the two most influential factors on a student's ability to learn are two things. One, teacher effectiveness and number two, principal leadership. Scholarship always bears out. MAE: Whoa. ADAM: Yeah. So the principal told my family that and also, my household growing up, I was an only child. We were a very poor household; low income was an understatement. So my disadvantages aside, learning and teaching myself was basically all I had. I was the kid who grew up in this neighborhood, I had some friends in the neighborhood, and I was always exploring adjacent areas of the neighborhoods. I was in a semi-rural area. So there were wooded areas, there were some streams, some rivers, some lakes and I was always the kid that found something new. I found a new trail, a new street, a new whatever and I would run back to my neighborhood and I'd be like, “Hey everybody, I just found something. Look what I found, follow me and I will show you also. I will show you the way and I'll show you how cool that is.” MAE: Aw. ADAM: I love this thinking. [laughs] MAE: I love that! CASEY: Sharing. ADAM: I'm glad because when I'm in the classroom, when I'm teaching – I do a lot of corporate training now, too. When I'm either teaching in a traditional university classroom, or in corporate setting, that is me reliving my childhood playtime. It's like, “Hey everybody, look at this cool thing that I have to show you and now I'm going to show it to you, also.” So teaching, learning, and education is my superpower and in one way, that's manifested. When I finished school, I finished my PhD at 37. I wasn't 40 years old yet, if you count kindergarten had been in school for 23 years. Over half of my life, not half of my adult life, half of my entire life I was in school [chuckles] and now that I'm rounding 41—that was last week, I turned 41. Now that I'm rounding 41 – MAE: Happy birthday! ADAM: Thank you so much. Now that I'm rounding 41, I'm finally a little more than half of my life not in school. MANDO: Congrats, man. That's an accomplishment. [laughs] So I'm curious to know how you transitioned from that academic world into being a data scientist proper, like what got you to that point? What sets you down that path? Just that whole story. I think that'd be super interesting to talk about and dig into. ADAM: Sure. I think context really matters; what was going on in the data science field at the time I finished the PhD. I finished that PhD in 2017. So in 2017, that was that the apex of – well, I don't know if it was, or maybe we're now at the apex. I don't know exactly where the apex was, or is, or will be, but there was a lot of excitement around data science as a field and as a career in about 3, or 4 years ago. MANDO: For sure. ADAM: So when I was finishing the PhD, I had the opportunity to tech up in my PhD program and gain a lot of the skills that others might have gained via other paths through more traditional computer science degrees, economics degrees, or bootcamps, or both. And then I was also in a position where I was probably—and this is common for folks with a PhD—probably one of the handful of people in the world who were a subject matter expert in a particular topic, but also, I had the technical skills to be a data scientist. So there was an organization, The Common Application from the introduction, that was looking for a data scientist who needed domain knowledge in the area that I had my PhD and that's what a PhD does for you is it gives you this really intense level of knowledge in a really small area [chuckles] and then the technical skills. That's how I transitioned into being a data scientist. I think in general, that is the template for many folks who have become a data scientist. Especially if you go back 3, or 4, or 5, or 6 years ago, before formal data science training programs started popping up and even before, and then I think some of the earliest bootcamps for data science were about 10 years ago. At least the most widely popular ones were about 10 years ago to be clear. And then there's another view that that's just when we started calling it data science because the skills for – all of the technologies and analytical techniques we're using, not all of them, many of them have been around for decades. So that's important to keep in mind. So I think to answer your question, I was in the right place at the right time, there was a little bit of luck involved, and I always try and hold myself from fully giving all the credit away to luck because that's something. Well, maybe we'll talk about it later when it comes to imposter syndrome, that's one of the symptoms, so to speak, of imposter syndrome is giving credit for your success away to luck while you credit the success of others to skill, or ability. But let me talk about that template. So the template is many data scientists become a data scientists with this three-step process. One, you establish yourself as an expert in your current role and by establishing yourself as an expert, you're the top expert, or one of very, very few people who are very, very skilled in that area. Then you start tackling business problems with statistics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. You might not be called a data scientist yet, but by this point, you're already operating as a data scientist and then eventually, you be the data scientist, you become the data scientist. If it is a career path for you, you'll potentially change roles into a role that's formerly called, specifically called data science. But one of the articles I wrote recently on Medium talks about the seven paths to data scientist and one of the paths talks about a fellow who really doesn't consider himself a data scientist, but he is a data scientist, been a data scientist for years, but he's really happy with this organization and his role as it's titled as an engineer and he's great. He's good to go. So maybe we'll talk about it a little bit later, too. I think as we were chatting and planning, someone asked about pedigree a little bit and one of the points I like to make is there's no right, or wrong way to do it. There's no right, or wrong way to get there just once you get there, have fun with it. MAE: I love what you said, Adam, about the steps and they're very similar to what I would advise to any traditional coder and have advised is take all of your prior work experience before you become a programmer. It is absolutely relevant and some of the best ways to have a meaningful impact and mitigate one's own imposter syndrome is to get a job where you are programming and you already have some of that domain knowledge and expertise to be able to lend. So you don't have to have been one of the rarefied few, but just having any familiarity with the discipline, or domain of the business you end up getting hired at, or applying to certainly is a way to get in the door a little easier and feel more comfortable once you're there, that you can contribute in lots of ways. ADAM: And it gives you the ability to provide value that other folks who are on a different path, who are going into data science earlier—this is a great path, too don't let me discount that path—but those folks don't have the deep domain knowledge that someone who transitions into data science later in their career provides. MAE: Exactly. Yeah, and the amazing teams have people with all the different versions, right? ADAM: Right. MAE: Like we don't want a team with only one. Yeah. ADAM: That's another thing I like to say about data science is it's a team sport. It has to be a teams – it has to be done in tandem with others. CASEY: I just had a realization that everyone I know in data science, they tend to come from science backgrounds, or maybe a data science bootcamp. But I don't know anyone who moved from web development into data science and that's just so surprising to me. I wonder why. MAE: I crossed the border a little bit, I would say, I worked in the Center for Data Science at RTI in North Carolina and I did do some of the data science there as well as just web programming, but my undergrad is biochem. So I don't break your role. [laughs] MANDO: [chuckles] Yeah. I'm trying to think. I don't think I know any either. At the very least, they all come from a hard science, or mathematics background, which is interesting to me because that's definitely not my experience with web application developers, or just developers in general. There's plenty that come from comp side background, or an MIS background, or something like that, but there's also plenty who come from non-traditional backgrounds as well. Not just bootcamps, but just like, they were a history major and then picked up programming, or whatever and it doesn't seem to be as common, I think in data science. Not to say that you couldn't, but just for my own, or maybe our own experience, it's not quite as common. ADAM: If there's anybody listening with the background that we're talking about, the other backgrounds, I would say, reach out probably to any of us and we'd love to workshop that with you. MAE: Yes! Thank you for saying that. Absolutely. MANDO: Yeah, the more stories we can amplify the better. We know y'all are out there; [chuckles] we just don't know you and we should. MAE: Adam, can you tell us some descriptor that is a hobnobbing thing that we would be able to say to a data scientist? Maybe you can tell us what P values are, or just some little talking point. Do you have any favorite go-tos? ADAM: Well, I suppose if you're looking for dinner party casual conversation and you're looking for some back pocket question, you could ask a data scientist and you're not a data scientist. I would maybe ask a question like this, or a question that I could respond to easily as a data scientist might be something like, “Well, what types of predictions are you looking to make?” and then the data scientists could respond with, “Oh, it's such an interesting question. I don't know if anybody's ever asked me that before!” But the response might be something like, “Well, I'm trying to predict a classification. I'm trying to predict categories,” or “I'm trying to predict income,” or “I'm trying to predict whatever it is that –” I think that would be an interesting way to go. What's another one? CASEY: Oh, I've got one for anyone you know in neuroscience. ADAM: Oh, yeah. MAE: Yay! CASEY: I was just reading a paper and there's this statistics approach I'm sure I did in undergrad stats, but I forgot it. Two-way ANOVA, analysis of variance, and actually, I don't think I know anyone in my lab that could explain it offhand real quickly really well because we just learn it enough to understand what it is and why we use it and then we have the computer do it. But it's an interesting word saying it and having someone say, “Yes, I know what that means enough. It's a science, or neuroscience.” ADAM: I would be interested in how neuroscience is used two-way ANOVA because I'm not a neuroscientist and two-way ANOVA is so useful in so many other contexts. CASEY: I'm afraid I can't help today. Maybe 10 years ago, I could have done that. [laughter] CASEY: It's just something that you don't work with and talk about a lot. It's definitely fallen out of my headspace. I looked up the other day, I couldn't remember another word from my neuroscience background. Cannula is when you have a permanent needle into a part of the brain, or maybe someone's vein, same thing. I used to do surgeries on rats and put cannulas and I was like, “What's that thing? What was that thing I did?” I have no idea! It's just like time passes and it fades away. I don't do that anymore. [chuckles] ADAM: So sometimes folks will ask me why I'm a data scientist and I love that question by the way, because I'm a major proponent of knowing what your why is in general, or just having a why and knowing a why, knowing what your why is. Why do you do what you do? What makes you excited about your career, about your work, about your clients, about your coworkers? One of the main reasons I am a data scientist is because it's an opportunity to create new knowledge and that's the scientific process, really. That's the main output of science is new knowledge and if you think about that, that's really powerful. This is now at the end of this scientific process, if you implement it correctly, we now know something about how the world works, about how people in the world work, or something about the world in general that we didn't know before. I get goosebumps. We're on podcast so you can't see the goosebumps that I'm getting. But when I talk about this, I actually get goosebumps. So for me, being a data scientist and then there's also the debate is data science, science and I say, absolutely yes, especially when you are implementing your work with this spirit' the spirit of creating new knowledge. One of the reasons I am very adamant about keeping this why in the forefront of my mind and proposing it as a why for others who maybe haven't found their why yet is because it's also a really powerful guardrail that prevents us from working on problems that we already have answers to, that have been analyzed and solved, or questions asked and asked and answered. I'm a major proponent of avoiding that type of work, unless you have a really good reason to replicate, or test replication, or you're looking for replication. That would be an exception, but in general, questions—analytical questions, research questions, and data science problems—that lead to new knowledge are the ones that excite me the most. And then this goes back to what I was talking about a moment ago, my superpower teaching and learning. One of the reasons I really enjoy teaching data science in the classroom, or statistics in the classroom, or at corporate training is because then I can empower others to create new knowledge. That feels really good to me when I can help others create new knowledge, or give others the skills and abilities to do that as well. MAE: I love that. Yeah. I do have one angle on that, but I hope this doesn't feel like putting you on the spot, but especially in the not revisiting a established—I'm going to do air quotes—facts and from undergrad, the scientific definition of fact has not yet been proven false. But anyways, there is a growing awareness of bias inherent in data and we so often think of data as the epitome of objectivity. Because it's a bunch of numbers then therefore, we are not replicating, or imposing our thoughts, but there is the Schrodinger's cat, or whatever in place all the time about how those “facts” were established in the first place, where that data was called from? Like, the Portlandia episode where they ask where the chicken is from and they end up back at the farm. [laughter] The data itself, there's just a lot in there. So I'm curious if you have any thoughts about that accordion. ADAM: There's a lot. That's a big question. I will say one of the things that keeps me up at night is this problem, especially when it comes to the potential for our work in data science, to perpetuate, exacerbate social inequity, social inequality, racial inequality, gender inequality, economic inequality. This keeps me up at night and I am, like most, or like everyone – well, no, I don't know if everybody is interested in solving that problem. I think a lot of data scientists are, I think a lot of researchers are; I think many are interested in solving that particular problem and I count myself among those. But I would be ahead of myself if I purported to say that I had a solution. I think in this format and in this context, one of the best things to do is to point folks towards others who have spent even more time really focusing on this and I think the go-to is Weapons of Math Destruction. Weapons of Math Destruction is a book. If you're on a bad connection, that's M-A-T-H. Weapons of Math Destruction and especially if you're just getting started on this concern, that's a good place to get started. MAE: Thank you. Thanks for speaking to that, Adam. CASEY: There's a piece of the question you asked me that I always think about is the data true and I like to believe most data is true in what it measured, but it's not measuring truth with a T-H. ADAM: That's true. MAE: Whoa. ADAM: I think you could spend a lot of time thinking this through and noodling through this, but I would caution you on something you said it's true as to what you measured. Well, you have measurement error. We have entire – actually, I happen to have social statistics handbook handy. In any statistics handbook, or statistics textbook is going to have either an entire chapter, or a major portion of one of the introductory chapters on error, the types of error, and measurement error is one of them, perception error, all of the – and I'm on the spot to name all the errors. I wish I could rattle those off a little bit better. [chuckles] ADAM: But if you're interested, this is an interesting topic, just Google data errors, or error types, or statistical errors and you will get a rabbit hole that will keep you occupied for a while. MAE: Love it. I will be in that rabbit hole later. [laughs] ADAM: Yeah. I'm going to go back down that one, too myself. MANDO: So Adam, we have people who are listening right now who are interested in following one of your paths, or one of the paths to becoming a data scientist and maybe they have domain expertise in a particular area, maybe they don't. Maybe they're just starting out. Maybe they're coming from a bootcamp, or maybe they're from a non-traditional background and they're trying to switch careers. If you were sitting there talking to them one-on-one, what are some things that you would tell them, or what are some starting points for them? Like, where do you begin? ADAM: Well, one, admittedly self-serving item I would mention is consider the option of hiring a career coach and that's one of the things that I do in my line of consulting work is I help folks who are towards the middle, or latter part of their career, and they're looking to enter into, or level up in data science. So a career coach can – and I've hired career coaches over the years. Back to, Mando, one of the questions you asked me earlier is how did you end up in data science? Well, part of that story, which I didn't talk to then is, well, I went into data science route when the faculty route didn't open up for me and I'm a huge fan. I had two career coaches helping me out with both, faculty and non-faculty work for a while. So having been the recipient and the beneficiary of some great career coaching, I have also recently become a career coach as well. Probably something more practical, though. Let me give some practical advice. A portfolio, a professional portfolio for a data scientist is probably one of the most essential and beneficial things you can do for yourself in terms of making that transition successfully and then also, maintaining a career. If you're interested in advancing your career in this way, maintaining a career trajectory that keeps you going so having and maintaining a portfolio. I'll go through four tips on portfolio that I give folks and these tips are specifically tips that can help you generate content for your portfolio, because I know one of the hardest things to do with the portfolio is, well, let me just do some fictional hypothetical project for my portfolio, so hard to do and also, can end up being sort of dry, stale, and it might not really connect with folks. These are four ways you can add to, or enhance your portfolio. I wouldn't call them entire projects; maybe they're mini projects and they're great additions to your portfolio. The first one is: make a Rosetta Stone. This one is for folks who have learned one computer programming language, and now it's time for them to learn another computer programming language, or maybe they already know two computer programming languages. In fact, the Rosetta Stone idea for your portfolio doubles as a way to build on and expand your skills. So here's what a Rosetta Stone is. You have a project; you've done it from start to finish. Let's say, you've done a project from start to finish in Python. Now port that entire project over to R and then in a portfolio platform—I usually recommend GitHub—commit that work as git commits as a Rosetta Stone side-by-side examples of Python and R code that produce the same results and the same output. I love this piece of advice because in doing this, you will learn so much about the language that you originally wrote the program in and you will learn a lot about the target language. You're going to learn about both languages and you're going to have a tangible artifact for your portfolio and you might even learn more about that project. You might encounter some new output in the new language, which is more accessible for that language, that you didn't encounter in the old language and now you're going to have a new insight about whatever your research project was. The next piece of advice I have is make a cheat sheet and there's tongue in cheek opinion about cheat sheets. I think sometimes folks don't like to call them cheat sheets because the word cheat has negative connotations, but whatever you're going to call it, if it's a quick reference, or if it's a cheat sheet, a well-designed cheat sheet on any tool, platform, tool platform, language that you can think of is going to be a really nice addition to your portfolio. I recommend folks, what you do is you just find the things that you do the most frequently and you're constantly referencing at whatever website, make a cheat sheet for yourself, use it for a while, and then polish it up into a really nice presentable format. So for example, I have a cheat sheet on interpreting regression. I also have a cheat sheet that is a crosswalk from Stata, which is a statistical programming language, to Python. So actually there, I've put the two of them together. I've made this cheat sheet, which is also a Rosetta Stone. If you're looking for those, you can find those on my GitHub, or my LinkedIn, I have cheat sheets on my LinkedIn profile as well and you can see examples. I do have on YouTube, a step-by-step instructional video on how to make a cheat sheet and they're actually really easy to do. So if you even if you consider yourself not graphically inclined, if you pick the right tools—and the tools that you would pick might not be your first choice just because they're not marketed that way—you can put together a really nice cheat sheet relatively easily. The third tip is to write an article… about a piece of software that you dislike. So write an article about a piece of software that you dislike and this has to be done with, especially in the open source community, do this one carefully, possibly even contact the creators, and also, be sure not to blame anybody, or pass judgment. Just talk about how and why this particular project doesn't quite live up to your full aspiration, or your full expectation. I've done this a couple of times in a variety of ways. I didn't in the title specifically say, “I don't like this,” or “I don't like that,” but in at least one case, one of the articles I wrote, I was able to later submit as a cross-reference, or an additional reference on an issue in GitHub and this was specifically for Pandas. So there was a feature in Pandas that wasn't working the way I wanted it to work. [chuckles] MAE: Pandas. ADAM: Yeah, Pandas is great, right? So there's a feature in Pandas that wasn't working in quite the way that I wanted it to. I wrote an article about it. Actually, I framed the article, the article title is, “How I broke Pandas.” Actually, several versions of Pandas back, the issue was it was relatively easy to generate a Pandas data frame with duplicate column names. Having duplicate column names in a Pandas data frame obviously can cause problems in your code later because you basically have multiple keys for different columns. Now, there's a setting in Pandas that will guard against this and it's an optional setting—you have to toggle it on and off. This article, I like to say, helped improve Pandas. So write an article about software you dislike and also, like I said, be diplomatic and in this case, I was diplomatic by framing the article title by saying, “A few times, I managed to break Pandas,” and then – MANDO: This reminds me a lot of Kyle Kingsbury and his Jepsen tests that he used to do. He was aphyr on Twitter. He's not there anymore, but he would run all these tests against distributed databases and distributed locking systems and stuff like that and then write up these large-scale technical explanations of what broke and what didn't. They're super fascinating to read and the way that he approached them, Adam, it's a lot like you're saying, he pushed it with a lot of grace and what I think is super important, especially when you're talking about open source stuff, because this is what people, they're pouring their heart and soul and lives into. You don't have to be ugly about it. ADAM: Oh, absolutely. MANDO: [chuckles] And then he ended up like, this is what he does now. He wrote this framework to do analysis of distributed systems and now companies hire him and that's his job now. I'm a big fan of the guy and I miss him being on Twitter and interacting with him and his technical expertise and also, just his own personality. Sorry, your topic, or your little cheat there reminded me of that. We'll put some links—thanks, Casey—and in the show notes about his posts so if people haven't come across this stuff yet, it's a fascinating read. It's super helpful even to this day. ADAM: I'm thankful for the connection because now I have another example, when I talk to people about this, and it's incredible that you say built an entire career out of this. I had no idea that particular tip was so powerful. MAE: So cool. MANDO: [chuckles] So I think you said you have one more, Adam? ADAM: The fourth one is: contribute to another project. One of the best examples of this is I wrote an article on how to enhance your portfolio and someone really took this fourth one to a whole new level. I'm sure others have as well, but one person—we'll get links in, I can get some links in the show notes—what he did was he found a package in R that brings data for basically sample datasets for our programmers and citizens working and data scientists working with R. But he was a Python person. So he suggested, “Hey, what about making this?” I remember he contacted me and he said, “I read your article about adding to my portfolio. I really think it might make sense to port this project over to Python,” and so, he was combining two of them. He was making a Rosetta Stone and he was contributing someone else's project. Now this data is available both in R and in Python and the author of this project has posted about it. He posted about it in May, early May, and it's constantly still a month and a half later getting comments, likes, and links. So he's really gotten some mileage out of this particular piece, this addition to his portfolio and the original author of the original software also has acknowledged it and it's really a success. It's really a success. So contribute to another project is my fourth tip. Oh, one more idea on contributing to another project. Oh, I have an article on that lists several projects that are accepting contributions from intermediate and beginners. The point there is identify specific projects that are accepting beginner and immediate submissions on contributions, mostly via GitHub. But if you go to GitHub and if you're newer to GitHub, you can actually go to a project that you like, go to its Issues tab, and then most projects have tags associated with their issues that are identified as beginner friendly. That is an excellent place to go in order to get started on contributing to another project, which makes the world a better place because you're contributing to open source and you have an addition to your portfolio. MANDO: Oh, these are fantastic tips. Thank you, Adam. ADAM: I'm glad you like them. Can I give another one? Another big tip? This one's less portfolio, more – MANDO: Yeah, lay it on us. MAE: Do! By all means. ADAM: And I'd be interested, Mae, since you also made a similar career transition to me. I made an investment. I think I know what you might say on this one, but I spent money. I spent money on the transition. I hired consultants on Fiverr and Upwork to help me upgrade my social media presence. I hired the career coaches that I mentioned. Oh, actually the PhD program, that was not free. So I spent money on my transition and I would point that out to folks who are interested in making this transition, it's not a transition that is effortless and it's also not a transition that you can do, I think it's not one that you can do without also investing money. MAE: Yeah. [chuckles] Okay, I'm going to tell you my real answer on this. ADAM: Okay. MAE: Or corollary. I had a pretty good gig at a state institution with a retirement, all of these things, and I up and left and went to code school. I had recently paid off a lot of debt, so I didn't have a lot of savings. I had no savings, let's just say that and the code school had offered this like loan program that fell through. So I'm in code school and they no longer are offering the ability to have this special code school loan. I put code school on my credit card and then while in code school, my 10-year-old car died and I had to get a new car. ADAM: Ah. MAE: In that moment, I was struggling to get some fundamental object-oriented programming concepts that I'm like, “Holy cow, I've got a mortgage. I no longer have a car.” Now I'm in a real bind here, but I be leaving myself. I know I made these choices after a lot of considered thought and consultation. I, too had hired a career coach and I was like, “I've already made this call. I'm going to make the best of it. I'm just going to do what I can and see what happens.” I really have a test of faith on that original call to make those investments. I would not recommend doing it the way I did to anyone! [laughter] MAE: And I went from a pretty well-established career and salary into – a lot of people when they go into tech, it's a huge jump and I had the opposite experience. That investment continued to be required of me for several years. Even still, I choose to do things related to nonprofits and all kinds of things, but it takes a lot of faith and commitment and money often, in some form, can be helpful. There are a lot of, on the programming side, code schools that offer for you to pay a percentage once you get a salary, or other offsetting arrangements. So if somebody is listening, who is considering programming, I have not seen those analogs in data science, but on the programming side, especially if you're from a group underrepresented in tech, there's a number of different things that are possible to pursue still. ADAM: Here we are talking about some of the lesser acknowledged aspects of this transition. MAE: Yeah. ADAM: Some of the harder to acknowledge. MAE: Yeah. MANDO: Yeah, I really liked what you said, Mae about the need to believe in yourself and Adam, I think what you're saying is you have to be willing to bet on yourself. ADAM: Yes. MAE: Yeah. MANDO: You have to be willing to bet on yourself and sometimes, in some forms, that's going to mean writing a check, or [chuckles] in Mae's example, putting it on your credit card, but. [laughter] Sometimes that's what it means and that's super scary. I'm not a 100% convinced that I have enough faith in my ability to run the dishwasher some days, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know if I'm going to be able to do that today, or not. This is going to be really silly and stupid, but one of my favorite cartoons is called Avatar: The Last Airbender. MAE: Yes! MANDO: It's a series on Cartoon Network, I think. No, Nickelodeon, I watched it with my kids when they were super little and it's still a thing that we rewatch right now, now that they're older. There's this one episode where this grandfatherly wizened uncle is confronted [chuckles] by someone who's trying to mug him [chuckles] and the uncle is this super hardcore general guy. He critics his mugging abilities and he corrects him and says, “If you stand up straight and you change this about the way that you approach it, you'll be much more intimidating and probably a more successful mugger,” and he's like, “But it doesn't seem that your heart is into the mugging.” [chuckles] So he makes this guy a cup of tea and they talk about it and the guy's like, “I don't know what I'm doing. I'm lost. I'm all over the place. All I want to do is become a masseuse, but I just can't get my stuff together.” Something that the uncle said that really, really struck with me was he said, “While it's important and best for us to believe in ourselves, sometimes it can be a big blessing when someone else believes in you.” MAE: So beautiful. MANDO: “And sometimes, you need that and so, I get it. You can't always bet on yourself, or maybe you can bet on yourself, but sometimes you don't have that backup to actually follow through with it.” That's why community is so important. That's why having a group of people. Even if it's one person. Someone who can be like that backstop to be, “You don't believe in yourself today. Don't worry about it. I believe in you. It's okay. You can do it. You're going to do it.” ADAM: Community is just massive. Absolutely massive. MANDO: Yeah. ADAM: Having a good, strong community is so important. Also, I think I could add to what you're saying is about betting on yourself. I don't know if I love the analogy because it's not a casino bet. MANDO: Right. ADAM: The odds are not in favor of the house here. If you have done the right consultation, spoken with friends and family, leveraged your community, and done an honest, objective, accurate assessment of your skills, abilities, and your ambition and your abilities, et cetera. It's a bet. It's a wager, but it's a calculated risk. MAE: Yes! That is how I have described it also. Yes, totally. I loved that story from Airbender and it ties in a few of our topics. One is one of the things Adam said originally, which is being deeply in touch with your why really helps. It also ties in the whole teaching thing and often, that is one of the primary roles is to offer faith and commitment to your pursuits. If I had had different code school teachers, the stress of my entire livelihood being dependent on my understanding these concepts in week two of bootcamp that I was struggling with, and I had made a calculated bet and I thought I was going to be awesome, but I was not. It was like the classic Peanuts teacher is talking, “Wah wah woh wah wah.” I had to lean into my teachers, my school, my peers, believe in me. I believed in me before, even if I don't in this moment and I just have to let that stress move to the side so that I can reengage. That was really the only way I was able to do it was having a similar – well, I didn't try to mug anybody, [laughs] but I had some backup that really helped me make that through. MANDO: Yeah, and those credit card folks call like, it's tricky. MAE: Yeah, and then I had to buy a car and those people were calling me and they just did an employment verification. They said, “You don't have a job!” I was like, “Oh my god. Well, you [inaudible] get my car back, but I have really good credit. How about you talk to your boss and call me back?” So anyway, these things all tie into, if we have time to talk about something, I was hoping we would cover is this thing about imposter syndrome and believing in oneself, but also not believing in oneself simultaneously and how to navigate that. I don't know, Adam, if you have particular advice, or thoughts on that. ADAM: I do have some advice and thoughts on that. Actually, just yesterday, I hosted a live webinar on this particular topic with another career coach named Sammy and she and I are very passionate about helping folks. When we work with clients, we work with folks intentionally to evaluate whether imposter syndrome might be part of the equation. Actually, in this webinar, we talked about three immunity boosts, or three ways to boost your immunity against imposter syndrome and in one way, or another, I think we've touched on all three with the exception of maybe one of them. So if you're interested in that topic reached out to me as well. I have a replay available of that particular webinar and I could make the replay available on a one-on-one basis to folks as well, who really want to see that material, and the section – MANDO: [inaudible] that. ADAM: Yeah, please reach out and LinkedIn. Easiest way to reach me is LinkedIn, or Twitter. Twitter actually works really well, too these days. MANDO: We'll put both of those in the show notes for folks. ADAM: Okay. Yeah, thank you so much. I look forward to potentially sharing that with folks who reach out. The community was the second immunity boost that we shared and actually, Mando and Mae, both just got done talking extensively about community. And then the first immunity boost we shared was know your baseline. We called it “know your baseline” and I know from our planning that we would put in this program notes, a link to an online assessment that's named after the original scientist, or one of the two original scientists who really began documenting imposter syndrome back in the 70s and then they called it imposter phenomenon. Oh, the history of this topic is just fascinating. Women scientists, North Carolina, first documented this and one of the two scientists is named Pauline Clance. So the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale, that'll be in the show notes. You can take the Imposter Phenomenon Scale and then objectively evaluate based on this is imposter syndrome a part of your experience, if it is what is the extent of that, and just knowing your baseline can be a really good way, I think to protect you from the effects of the experience. It's also, I think important to point out that imposter syndrome isn't regarded as a medical, or a clinical diagnosis. This is usually defined as a collection of thoughts and actions associated with career, or other academic pursuits. And then the third immunity boost is disseminate knowledge and I love the disseminate knowledge as an immune booster because what it does is it flips the script. A lot of times folks with imposter syndrome, we say to ourselves, “Gee, if I could get one more degree, I could probably then do this,” or “If I got one more certification,” or “I can apply for this job next year, I could apply for that permission next year because I will have completed whatever certification program,” or “If I read one more –” MANDO: One more year of experience, right? ADAM: Yeah. One more year of experience, or one more book, or one more class on Udemy. Especially for mid and late career professionals and we talked about this earlier, Mae the bank of experience and domain knowledge that mid and late career professionals bring, I promise nobody else has had your experience. Everybody has a unique experience and everybody has something to offer that is new and unique, and that is valuable to others. So I say, instead of signing up for the seminar, host the seminar, teach the seminar. [laughter] ADAM: Right? Again, there's nothing wrong with certifications. There's nothing wrong with Udemy classes, I have Udemy classes that you could should go take. There's nothing wrong with those, but in measure, in measure and then also, never, never, never, never forget that you already have skills and abilities that is probably worth sharing with the rest of the world. So I recommend doing that as a boost, as an immunity boost, against imposter syndrome. MANDO: Yes, yes, and yes! [chuckles] CASEY: Now, I took the Clance Imposter Phenomenon Scale test myself and I scored really well. It was super, super low for me. I'm an overconfident person at this point, but when I was a kid, I wasn't. [laughter] I was super shy. I would not talk to people. I'd read a book in a corner. I was so introverted and it changed over time, I think by thinking about how confidence leads to confidence. MANDO: Yes. CASEY: The more confident you are, the more confident you act, you can be at the world and the more reason you have to be competent over time and that snowballed for me, thank goodness. It could happen for other people, too gradually, slowly over time the more you do confidence, the more you'll feel it and be it naturally. MAE: Yes! MANDO: I think it works the other direction, too and you have to be real careful about that. Like Adam, you were talking about flipping the script. If you have a negative talk script of just one more, just this one thing, I'm not good enough yet and I'm not you know. That can reinforce itself as well and you just never end up getting where you should be, or deserve to be, you know what I mean? It's something that I struggle with. I've been doing this for a really, really long time and I still struggle with this stuff, it's not easy. It's not easy to get past sometimes and some days are better than others and Casey, like you said, it has gotten better over time, but sometimes, you need those daily affirmations in the morning in the mirror [laughs] to get going, whatever works for you. But that idea, I love that idea, Casey of confidence bringing more confidence and reinforcing itself. MAE: And being mindful of Dunning-Kruger and careful of the inaccuracy of self-assessment. I like a lot of these ways in which making sure you're doing both, I think all the time as much as possible. Seeing the ways in which you are discounting yourself and seeing the ways in which you might be over crediting. ADAM: Right. Like with a lot of good science, you want to take as many measurements as possible. MAE: Yeah. ADAM: And then the majority vote of those measurements points to some sort of consensus. So the IP scale is one tool you can use and I think to your point, Mae it'd be a mistake to rely on it exclusively. You mentioned Dunning-Kruger, but there's also the Johari window. MAE: Oh, I don't know. What's that? ADAM: Oh, the Johari window is great. So there's four quadrants and the upper left quadrant of the Johari window are things that you know about yourself and things that other people know about yourself. And then you also have a quadrant where things that you know about yourself, but nobody else knows. And then there's a quadrant where other people know things about you that you don't know. And then there's the complete blind spot where there are things about you that you don't know that other people don't know. And then of course, you have this interesting conversation with yourself. So that quadrant that I don't know about it and nobody else knows about it, does it really exist? Does the tree falling in the woods make a sound when nobody's there to hear it? You can have a lot of fun with Johari window as well and I think it also definitely connects with what you were just saying a moment ago about accuracy of self-assessments, then it gets back to the measurement that we were talking about earlier, the measurement errors. So there's perceptual error, measurement error—shucks, I had it, here it is—sampling error, randomization, error, all kinds of error. I managed to pull that book out and then get some of those in front of me. [laughter] CASEY: There are some nice nicknames for a couple of the windows, Johari windows. The blind spot is one of those four quadrants and façade, I like to think about is another one. It's when you put on the front; people don't know something about you because you are façading it. MAE: Hmm. MANDO: So now we'll go ahead and transition into our reflection section. This is the part where our esteemed panelists and dear friends reflect on the episode and what they learned, what stuck with them, and we also get reflection from our guest, Adam as well, but Adam, you get to go last. ADAM: Sounds good. MANDO: You can gauge from the rest of us. Who would like to go first? MAE: I can! I did not know that there was an evaluative measure about imposter phenomenon, or any of that history shared and I'm definitely going to check that out. I talk with and have talked and will talk with a lot of people about that topic, but just having some sort of metric available for some self-assessment, I think is amazing. So that is a really fun, new thing that I am taking away among many, many other fun things. How about you, Casey? CASEY: I like writing about software you dislike in a positive, constructive tone. That's something I look for when I'm interviewing people, too. I want to know when they get, get feedback, when they give feedback, will it be thoughtful, unkind, and deep and respectful of past decisions and all that. If you've already done that in an article in your portfolio somewhere, that's awesome. That's pretty powerful. MANDO: Oh, how fantastic is that? Yeah, I love that! CASEY: I don't think I've ever written an article like that. Maybe on a GitHub issue, or a pull request that's longer than it feels like it should be. [laughter] Maybe an article would be nice, next time I hit that. MANDO: Oh, I love that. That's great. I guess I'll go next. The thing that really resonated with me, Adam was when you were talking about investing in yourself and being willing to write that check, if that's what it means, or swipe that credit card, Mae, or whatever. I'm sorry, I keep picking on you about that. MAE: It's fine. [laughs] It's pretty wild! MANDO: I love it. I love it, and it reminded me, I think I've talked about it before, but one of my favorite writers, definitely my favorite sports writer, is this guy named Shea Serrano. He used to write for Grantland and he writes for The Ringer and he's a novelist, too and his catchphrase—this is why I said it earlier in the episode—is “bet on yourself.” Sometimes when I'm feeling maybe a little imposter syndrome-y, or a little like, “I don't know what I'm going to do,” I click on the Twitter search and I type “from:sheaserrano bet on yourself” and hit enter and I just see hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of tweets of this guy that's just like, “Bet on yourself today.” “Bet on yourself” “Bet on yourself today, no one else is going to do it.” “No one's coming to save you, bet on yourself,” stuff like that and thank you, Adam for that reminder today. I needed that. ADAM: You're welcome. I'm so happy that you've got that takeaway. Thank you so much for sharing the takeaway. I have, I think two reflections. One, what a breath of fresh air, the opportunity to talk about life, career, but career in data science, and programming in a non-technical way. I think the majority of our conversation was non-technical. [laughter] We briefly went into some technicalities when we talked about how you can sometimes have duplicate heading names in a Pandas data frame. That was a little bit technical. Otherwise, we really just spoke about the humanistic aspects of this world. So thank you so much for that and I got a research tip! Mando, what a brilliant idea. If you're ever looking for more background on a book, do a Twitter search for the book name and then anybody who's been speaking about that book – MANDO: Oh, yes! ADAM: Yeah, right? You could extend that to a research tip. [overtalk] MANDO: That's fantastic! Absolutely. Yeah. ADAM: So today, I learned a new way to get additional background on any book. I'm just going to go to Twitter, Google, or not Google that, search the book title name, and I'm going to see what other people are saying about that book. And then I can check out their bios. I can see what else they're sharing. They might have insights that I might not have had and now I can benefit from that. Thank you. Thank you so much for the research tip. MANDO: Yeah, and I think it dovetails really well into what you were talking about earlier, Adam, about publishing data. Like building out this portfolio, writing your articles, getting it out there because someone's going to go to Google, or Twitter and type into the search bar a Pandas data frame, column, same name, you know what I mean and now they're going to hit “A few times, I managed to break Pandas,” your article. But it could be about anything. It could be about that stupid Docker thing that you fought with yesterday, or about the 8 hours I spent on Monday trying to make an HTTP post with no body and it just hung forever and I couldn't. 8 hours, it took me to figure out why it wasn't working and it's because I didn't have one line in and I didn't call request that set body. I just didn't do it. I've done this probably more than a million times in my career and I didn't do it and it cost me 8 hours of my life that I'm never getting back, but it happens. That's part of the job is that – [overtalk] MAE: Yeah, sure. MANDO: And you cry about it and you eat some gummy worms and then you pick yourself back up and you're good to go. ADAM: Yeah, another common one that people are constantly writing about is reordering the columns in a Pandas data frame. There's like a hundred ways to do it and none of them are efficient. MANDO: [laughs] Mm hm. ADAM: So I love [inaudible], of course. MANDO: Yeah, you hit the one that works for you, write a little something about it. It's all right. ADAM: Exactly, yeah. MANDO: All right. Well, thanks so much for coming on, loved having you on. Special Guest: Adam Ross Nelson.

The term Imposter Syndrome was first coined in the 1970's by a University psychology professor called Pauline Rose Clance who noticed something was going on with the women in her class. For the most part, the women she was observing had what she considered everything going for them – they had come from well educated and successful families, grew up in nice neighbourhoods, were healthy, financially secure and had access to every opportunity, and had a proven track record of success and academic achievement. The Imposter Syndrome refers to high achieving individuals who are marked by an inability to internalise their accomplishments and a persistent fear of being exposed as a fraud, and it is very, very common – and not just with women. In this episode you'll discover: what it is how it presents itself the five different types of imposter how to address and overcome it See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is self-doubt preventing you from following your dreams? Are you a high-achiever who struggles with feelings of inadequacy? In the 1970s, two researchers, Dr. Suzanne Imes and Dr. Pauline Rose Clance, embarked on researching the characteristics of high-achieving women. What they found was that despite all of these women’s accomplishments, all of their achievements, there was this level of self-doubt. This became known as Imposter Syndrome, which affects 70% of all people. Following in their footsteps, Dr. Valerie Young, expanded on their research and introduced 5 Archetypes of Imposter Syndrome and how they present. In this episode, we'll share how you can discover your imposter syndrome archetype, what you must do to boost your confidence, and why imposter syndrome can be a career killer.

FEEL LIKE YOU ARE AN IMPOSTER? YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT. It hits you without any reason… you don't belong, you are living a lie and the world around you has been founded on the failings of others, everything you do isn't good enough. You are an imposter within your own mind. Impostor syndrome refers to an internal experience of believing that you fail to make the grade in comparison to others, your surroundings or achievements. It is linked to comparison, perfectionism and the social environment in which you live or are linked. Simply, imposter syndrome is the experience of feeling like your life is nothing but founded on lies and deceit —you feel as though at any moment you are going to be found out as a fraud, like you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through the efforts of others or mysterious luck. Is it true? Yes, if you are thinking it then it is, but wait a few moments and you'll be back track and it won't be. While impostor syndrome is not a recognised disorder it is estimated that over 70% of adults will experience at least one short-lived episode within their life, with usual links to expectations from family or ‘significant' life role models. You are being the best version of you at any given time. Own it. Imposter syndrome can be a state that anyone can adopt and without any real validation or reason for the shift - unless you are consciously setting out to deceive. It can affect anyone no matter the social status, profession, wealth, health etc, so you are not alone. The term that was first used by psychologists Suzanna Imes and Pauline Rose Clance in the 1970's. When the idea of imposter syndrome was introduced, it was originally thought to apply mostly to women within prominent social positions. Since then, it has been recognised as more widely experienced irrelevant of gender, race, sexuality or belief.

Do you ever look around a room of intelligent, charismatic and interesting people and feel that you don't belong?  Do you sometimes find yourself focusing on everything you've failed to accomplish in your life or career, rather than what you've done well?  Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Pretty soon, everyone is going to figure out that I don't deserve to be here!"In Episode 7 of The Infinite Capacity Podcast, Andrea Morton of Think To Thrive Coaching explains the sense often experienced (but rarely discussed) by high achieving people that they are phonies... perhaps not deserving of their education, career or even relationship.  This uncomfortable feeling is called Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Phenomenon, and it can cause even the most outwardly successful people in the world to doubt themselves and their innate value.Digging into research pioneered in the 1970s by Dr. Pauline Rose Clance and R. Suzanne Imes, we will explore what Imposter Syndrome is, why it happens, how it varies between women and men, why it matters AND a few useful strategies you can implement right away to cope with imposterism if it is affecting you or your confidence and ability to move ahead toward your dreams!

What is impostor syndrome? Thanks for asking!Impostor syndrome is a psychological phenomenon which causes many high achievers to feel like frauds who haven’t really earned their success. Those affected think their accomplishments are simply down to luck, or other factors out of their control. Up to 70% of people are affected by impostor syndrome at some point in their life, according to the Journal of Behavioural Science. In the worst cases, it can be a crippling barrier which prevents us from achieving our potential.How did we get to know about impostor syndrome? The term was coined in 1978 by American psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. They first looked at impostor syndrome in female college students, but further research has shown that men also experience such feelings. Clance later created a multiple choice survey, scored out of 100, which helps individuals evaluate the extent to which they have impostor phenomenon characteristics.Another impostor syndrome expert is Dr. Valerie Young, author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women. Young categorised impostors into five subgroups: perfectionists, superwomen or men, natural geniuses, soloists and experts.Even some of the human race’s highest achievers can experience feelings of fraudulence. Award-winning author Maya Angelou is one example, as is Albert Einstein, who described himself as an “involuntary swindler”. It’s important to underline that impostor syndrome isn’t necessarily a permanent state, rather a reaction to several factors which cause us to doubt ourselves. Where does this need to put ourselves down come from? How can we effectively deal with impostor syndrome?

Imposter syndrome was first identified in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. In their paper, they theorized that women were uniquely affected by imposter syndrome. Since then, research has shown that both men and women experience imposter feelings, and Clance published a later paper acknowledging that impostor syndrome is not limited to women. On this episode, Rita Clifton, author of "Love Your Imposter: Be Your Best Self, Flaws and All" will tackle the myth that you need to 'fake it until you make it', arguing that being yourself is your greatest weapon and why workplaces need authenticity more than employees do.

Est-ce qu'il t'arrive de te sentir petit par rapport à l'autre ?  As-tu cette peur toi aussi d'être démasqué par l'autre dans différents aspects de ta vie ? Ça m'arrive encore.  Et fut une époque où c'était tellement fréquent que je passais mon temps à me cacher au lieu de chercher à m'exposer. Le syndrome de l'imposteur, appelé au départ expérience d'imposture par les psychologues Pauline Rose Clance et Suzanne Imes, fait référence aussi à un syndrome de l'autodidacte qui tourne essentiellement autour de la peur d'être démasqué.  Comme si nous n'étions pas assez, comme si nous avions tellement à prouver, et comme si il nous était impossible d'être considéré pour nos talents. Expérimenter l'imposture, c'est mettre l'emphase sur ce qui manque, sur ce que je n'ai pas, sur ce qui serait susceptible d'expliquer pourquoi je suis si petit dans le regard de l'autre.  C'est l'impression évidement.  Ce n'est pas la réalité.  Expérimenter l'imposture c'est comparer le plus petit en soi au plus grand de l'autre.  C'est de se donner aucune chance de pouvoir bien paraître étant donné que les comparaisons sont inégales dès le départ.  En fait, la comparaison fait justement partie du problème ! Dans cette épisode, je partage des moments où j'ai vécu ce fameux syndrome de l'imposteur.  J'invite même mon amoureuse Josée à nous en parler aussi.  Josée nous raconte même cette peur qu'elle a eu au tout début de notre relation qui lui donnait l'impression de ne pas être assez.  Qui lui faisait se dire : "Il va bien se rendre compte que je ne suis pas 'assez' pour lui". Nous partageons aussi quelques trucs afin de t'aider à marcher avec nous sur le chemin de la guérison aux regards de l'autre.  Des petits éléments tout simples qui font une grande différence. bon écoute ! Dans ce podcast : Ce qu'est le syndrome de l'imposteur aussi appelé syndrome de l'autodidacte; Les deux psychologues qui en ont fait la découverte; Des situations bien concrètes où Josée et moi avons vécu des expériences d'imposture; et finalement quelques trucs pour te permettre de progresser vers l'affranchissement de ce syndrome.

Dans cette épisode, je partage des moments où j'ai vécu ce fameux syndrome de l'imposteur.  J'invite même mon amoureuse Josée à nous en parler aussi.  Josée nous raconte même cette peur qu'elle a eu au tout début de notre relation qui lui donnait l'impression de ne pas être assez.  Qui lui faisait se dire : "Il va bien se rendre compte que je ne suis pas 'assez' pour lui". Nous partageons aussi quelques trucs afin de t'aider à marcher avec nous sur le chemin de la guérison aux regards de l'autre.  Des petits éléments tout simples qui font une grande différence. bon écoute ! Dans ce podcast : Ce qu'est le syndrome de l'imposteur aussi appelé syndrome de l'autodidacte; Les deux psychologues qui en ont fait la découverte; Des situations bien concrètes où Josée et moi avons vécu des expériences d'imposture; et finalement quelques trucs pour te permettre de progresser vers l'affranchissement de ce syndrome.

70% of people experience impostor feelings at some point in their lives. Impostor syndrome affects all kinds of people from all parts of life: women, men, entrepreneurs, actors and executives. In this episide you will learn how to beat Imposter Syndrome and never allow it to control you again.Impostor syndrome—the idea that you’ve only succeeded due to luck, and not because of your talent or qualifications—was first identified in 1978 by psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes. Men and women both experience Imposter Syndrome and basically it boils down to someone who isn’t able to internalize and own their successes.Free resource on my website…I’ve created a flow chart…What to do when you have feelings of Imposter Syndrome creep up!What to do about Imposter Syndrome?1. Put your feelings in perspective. Simply observing that thought as opposed to engaging it. I want you to let go and more critically question those thoughts. I encourage you to ask ‘Does that thought help or hinder me?’”2. Flip your thoughts…Instead of saying “Who am I to start a business at my age?” say instead “Why not start a business at my age?”3. Comparison can actually be a great tool! I’m going to teach you a very helpful visual…THE UNICORN CHALLENGEWe all know unicorns aren’t real, right? They are a fantasy, they are these magical creatures that consists of glitter, rainbows, a shiny horn and they are always dreamy. Anytime you start comparing yourself to someone else and you think to yourself, “I could never be like her” “She is so brave and has so much determination” “Everything she touches turns to gold” As soon as these thoughts creep into your beautiful brain I want you to tell yourself, “SHE’S NOT A UNICORN! SHE IS JUST LIKE ME, WE BREATH THE SAME AIR, PUT OUR PANTS ON ONE LEG AT A TIME AND WE ALL HAVE STRUGGLES, EVEN HER!”In conclusion, we all have doubts, but do not ever allow that doubt to control your actions. We will all have imposter moments, but the goal is for it not to control us…remember, there are no Unicorns!Free resource at www.JenniferDollander.com

Not knowing something is not a weakness, it is an opportunity to get stronger. Despite the fact that creativity and innovation are intrinsically linked to exploring the unknown, embracing your own uncertainty can be terrifying. As we close the door on our series on appropriate vulnerability, we’re taking a deep dive into a very specific aspect of vulnerability: imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome affects people at every level and your experience with it might range from manageable fears that are quickly dealt with, to frequent anxiety and the feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop. If you’ve been applying the self-reflection we spoke about in past episodes, odds are that you’ll encounter imposter syndrome on your journey to becoming the consummate leader by attraction. As a leader, how do you deal with imposter syndrome? How can it get in the way? How do you manage it appropriately? And it’s not just about you. Once you become more aware, you'll be in a better position to help your team restore their confidence, unblock them, and enable new levels of productivity and efficiency. On this episode, Mathew and I reflect on how we became aware of imposter syndrome and the fact that it is truly a universal issue. We explore the different ways it shows up in leaders, why being a second-generation leader often requires extra preparation, how to identify imposter syndrome, the importance of self-reflection and being conscious of your own insecurities and anxiety, my top two techniques you can use to manage imposter syndrome, and so much more! Key Topics: • Mathew’s experience with imposter syndrome (2:11) • The origins of the term “imposter syndrome” (3:01) • Defining imposter syndrome (3:25) • How imposter syndrome usually shows up in leaders (4:17) • The connection between self-doubt and imposter syndrome (5:00) • The range of experiences on the imposter syndrome spectrum (6:16) • Why imposter syndrome sometimes feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop (7:41) • Differentiating between everyday worrying and imposter syndrome (8:07) • Why you need to be conscious that imposter syndrome is a possibility for you (9:39) • Why executives of closely-held businesses are more susceptible to being disconnected from their own uncertainties and anxiety (11:13) • The current leadership’s responsibilities to the next generation (13:33) • The key to developing second-generation leaders for a successful multi-generational business (13:55) • The challenges I experienced as the non-family member President of a family business which was under-prepared for growth (15:53) • How Mathew became aware that he was affected by imposter syndrome (17:53) • Why figuring out where your imposter syndrome stems from is the first step to managing it (19:30) • How your family history ties into your view of success and self-worth (20:05) • The impact of my family’s insecurities on my achievements and my anxieties (20:40) • How to do a 30-minute purge as the second step in managing your imposter syndrome (22:43) • Why you’ll keep getting stuck if you’re comparing yourself to others (23:58) • Using appropriate vulnerability to combat imposter syndrome (24:35) • Seeing uncertainty as an opportunity, rather than weakness (25:55) • And much more!

Have you ever felt as though, no matter how much progress you make or success you achieve, you don't truly deserve your accomplishments? Do you have trouble accepting a compliment? Feeling like a fraud is a phenomenon that plagues many successful people. This unfounded feeling of insecurity is known as imposter syndrome - wihch was first studied by psychologist Pauline Rose Clance in 1978. According to a review article in the Journal of Behavioral Science, an estimated 70% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point in their lives. So what can you do about it? Talk to someone about it You're not alone. You might avoid talking to someone because you're afraid they'll just confirm what you've already been thinking, but you might be surprised to discover that others around you experience similar feelings. Then, collect your positive experiences. It's easy to focus on the nevative and brush off the positive - and it can be really hard to learn how to take in and accept praise. If someone sends you a complimentary email, save it - if someone gives you a thank you or appreciation card, save it. Make a concentrated effort to listen to and reflect on those positive vibes next time you're feeling overwhelmed with self-doubt. It's not just you. Once again, when you open up and start having conversations about how you truly feel, you might be surprised to know that others feel the same kind of self-doubt. Don't forget to pick up a copy of Doug's book, "One Percent Better" on Amazon.

In today's episode, we dive into the realm of imposter syndrome.

We give you tools for how to deal with imposter syndrome, share stories of how we have been affected by it, and tell about some famous people who you would never guess to have struggled with this.

Show Notes for Genuine Driven Women Episode #14 Don’t Tell Anyone, but I’m in Over my Head! Welcome to the “Genuine Driven Women” podcast, the show where we guide women to reveal their strengths so they believe and can achieve their desired greatness!  Today’s episode is called, Don’t Tell Anyone, but I’m in Over my Head.  We discuss Impostor Syndrome and how to deal with it. MAIN TOPIC To start, I’d like to read a poem, titled Our Deepest Fear, by Marianne Williamson.  Really focus on the words, and if you need to listen again, as I did the first time I heard it – this episode will always be here for you.     Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. _____________ Have you heard of “Impostor Syndrome”? It is that feeling, that fear, that someone is going to figure out that you are not as smart or as capable as they first thought, even though you have proven to be very successful and capable to this point.   This is VERY common, up to 70% of all women and men deal with it. Today, we give you concrete steps to DEAL WITH IT. You may even have the grades, the awards, the salary, and a long list of accomplishments to back yourself up, but still – that nagging belief that you shouldn’t be where you are, continues to haunt you.   In fact, Impostor syndrome really only occurs in High Achievers.  It is not a problem for Low Achievers. So, if you have been feeling like a fraud, it probably only means you have high standards for yourself. As Marianne Williamson’s poem inferred, you should have high standards for yourself, for you were created to let your own brilliance shine. One of the earliest references to this phenomenon was in 1978, in a Georgia State University research paper titled, The Impostor Phenomenon in High Achieving Women: Dynamics and Therapeutic Intervention, written by Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes.   In the book, The Confidence Code, written by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman (TV News journalists), They said, “We should star in our own production. Often, women just seem to have the spotlight thing backward. We want to shine a bright light on our faults, insecurities, and the outlandish reasons we will surely fail, but when it comes to taking credit or enjoying our triumphs, we step into the shadows, looking at our accomplishments as though we’ve never seen them before.”     Time Machine:   In this segment each week we will give a few points about women that have accomplished a lot! We also will discuss a bit about what was happening to women during the time periods. Someone we think you would like to know more about is: Malala Yousafzai   Inspirational Quote of the Week: “Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.” -Maya Angelou I really enjoyed this quote when I read it because in many people’s day to day lives we see people that may be sad or they just look like they need a little boost and we can give those people what they need. When I am feeling blue just one nice gesture brightens my mood, even if it is just a “Hi, how are you?”. So I challenge you all this week to be a rainbow to one person who is looking a bit cloudy! Book Review: Genuine driven women read lots of books!  We’ll make sure to recommend a book each week that will inspire you or help you on your journey to success! This week’s book is: The Invisible Leader By Zach Mercurio If you’d like to buy this book in any format, including the audiobook version for less than $10.00, click this link:  https://amzn.to/2DZ4sqD This book discusses why we should leverage the fundamental human search for purpose and meaning, and how that purpose - rather than any one person, is what truly leads and motivates people to do their best.  This book will help today’s leaders, educators, and parents discover, clarify, and deliver their reason for existence―their authentic purpose, and to help those they lead find it for themselves. "The Invisible Leader" is a unique and compelling combination of practical tools, storytelling, research, and case studies which form the basis of a powerful new approach to leadership.
