69156

Do you suffer from imposter syndrome? If not, do your colleagues? 

Writing in this week’s NLJ, Rosling King partner Helen Pamely, who is also a wellbeing consultant, coach and psychotherapist looks at this insidious saboteur which can trip up even the most high-achieving, competent and experienced among us.

Pamely notes that up to 82% of people are believed to suffer imposter syndrome at one time or another. Not only does it hold people back in their careers but it causes them to feel shame. However, there are things you can do. Pamely sets out five practical ways to disempower your inner critic.
