Phewf! Welcome to 2023. And we're starting with an absolute bang - covering a big topic today that's been a long time in the coming. Today we are shining a light on this uncomfortable topic to share strategies on how to manage your #impostersyndrome and ultimately thrive in ecology 🤠🌿🪲

Let’s be honest/ Whether we like it or not,  imposter syndrome manifests in many different ways and affects most of us - at all stages of our journey, in all levels of our career, (especially within the environmental industry) at one time or another - and yet it's an insecurity we hide away, a topic we shy away from and rarely discuss despite its prevalence. 

Imposter syndrome can impact the way we feel about our own story, the success we have in this field and the positive work we can do for wildlife 🦁 so today, we are teasing apart this issue and discussing: 

1. What is imposter syndrome and where does it come from?

2. How to recognise imposter syndrome

3. How to manage and overcome the tight grip that imposter syndrome may have over your life and career.

We provide six techniques we can use to combat those feelings of inadequacy from my experience 💪 in order to maximise your impact in the world 🌎🦉
