How To Manage Your Imposter Syndrome As An In-House Lawyer | Episode #023 The Legal Means Business Podcast

Whether you’re moving to a new city, shifting from private practice to in-house, or it’s your first experience in the world of legal all together, it’s likely that it’ll take some adjusting.

Often, a new environment or new responsibilities can leave you feeling out of your depth. This persistent inability to believe that your success is deserved or has been legitimately achieved thanks to your own efforts, is called imposter syndrome.

It’s something that many if not most people will experience in their lifetime, and learning to manage and respond to this feeling in a healthy way, is critical to ensure that you can continue to thrive.

In this episode, Sara walks us through her experience and how she’s learning to thrive in spite of her imposter syndrome.
