Did you know that anywhere from 8-92% of people suffer from impostor syndrome? You heard us right. This somewhat comical statistic points to a bigger truth though, we’re basically all in this together. Taking inspiration from an Instagram graphicdefining the 5 basic types of impostor syndrome, first laid out by Dr. Valerie Young, an expert on impostor syndrome in the workplace, we got deep about where we fit into those types; the perfectionist, the expert, the natural genius, the soloist, and the superwoman/superman. While our “types” are not meant to define our complex, dynamic human ways, we honestly reflect on whether or not we have learned how to recognize how our impostor syndrome manifests. And when it does, how do we give ourselves grace and calm that negative inner voice?
