Embrace challenge, unleash your self-confidence, and recognize your true worth

• Do you sometimes feel like a fraud at work, despite years of training and experience?
• Do you feel like it’s pure luck that people can’t see your incompetence?
• Are you worried that one day, people will find out that you’re really just faking it?

If you answered a resounding yes to these questions, then you might be experiencing imposter syndrome.

Imposter syndrome is a persistent feeling of self-doubt, incompetence, and inadequacy, despite evidence that reflects otherwise.

Sure, we all feel self-doubt sometimes. But imposter syndrome is a whole new level of self-doubt.

It’s like self-doubt on steroids!

It makes you feel as if you don’t deserve any of your accomplishments because you can’t shake off the feeling that you are not good enough at what you do. It’s almost as if you are just “winging it” and you are lucky that people are fooled by your act.

Psychologist Dr. E. V. Estacio shares groundbreaking research from applied psychology and insights from her own experience so you can apply these practical and easy-to-follow techniques to overcome imposter syndrome, know your worth, and flourish with self-confidence at work and in life.

It draws upon scientific research from health psychology, positive psychology, organizational psychology, coaching psychology, client-centered and humanist counseling, brain and cognitive psychology, and critical psychology, to effectively melt away feelings of worry, fear, and self-doubt, and ultimately manage your imposter syndrome.
