Episode #22: How do I avoid feeling like an imposter when I’ve been promoted? -with Caroline Clark (Leadership consultant and coach)

🎙️ 78% of product people often feel like imposters.
If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have what it takes, you’re not alone, and this #ToughStuff episode is for you.

I sat down with Caroline Clark to talk about how to cope with imposter feelings when they hit us, whether you’re starting a new job, stepping into a promotion, or finding your place in a new environment.

Caroline shares insights from her research on imposter syndrome among product people and, most importantly, some great food for thought:

• Imposter feelings often start when you feel you don’t belong—how can we recognize those triggers and act on them?

• Our limiting beliefs are our biggest enemy—what if you could reframe them as “not yet” statements?

• Everyone feels like an imposter sometimes—the trick is learning how to cope without letting those feelings stop you.

I learned so much from this conversation, and I think you will too.
