Imposter Phenomenon

Many of us have struggled with self-doubt in spite of being educated, experienced, and seen by others as leaders & high achievers in our fermented beverage fields. We sometimes downplay our expertise in areas where we are very highly skilled. We rename our success and accomplishments as episodes of “getting lucky” or say we wouldn’t be here without help. We overwork ourselves to avoid being “found out or exposed”, eventually leading to burnout.

How did we get here?

Let’s talk openly about where these feelings and behaviors come from, and how “imposter syndrome” finds its way into our work relationships and career development/advancement. Let’s learn how to flip this self-talk into something positive, and celebrate our successes.
