Has Anyone NOT Experienced Imposter Syndrome? Common among professionals, Imposter Syndrome manifests everywhere in the workplace –?carrying with it a mindset of self-doubt and internal anxiety. And with meetings taking half or more of the time of many professionals, there is a good chance that the participant across from you may not feel like they belong. In recent interviews we have heard a lot of examples of Imposter Syndrome and the emotional impact that it has on employees. One young interviewee pointed out that she was the “only team member without a graduate degree” and had “less than one year of experience.” Like so many others with Imposter Syndrome, she was terrified that she might say something dumb in meetings. One of the challenges of Imposter Syndrome in meetings is that some meeting participants feel that there is no one to talk to about it since they are reluctant to broach the topic with team members. One common symptom of Imposter Syndrome in meetings manifests as participants not speaking up when they have a thought. This not only creates anxiety for the participant, but it robs the meeting of potentially valuable insights. How can meeting owners help to eliminate this problem? One of our interviewees had a quick response –?have smaller meetings. Even with his Ivy League degree, his anxiety peaked in large meetings, but fell away fast as meetings became smaller where his fears of speaking up melted away.
