People talk about imposter syndrome all the time, in relation to how they feel at work or in social situations or just in life.

In this discussion:

• The popular conception of what imposter syndrome means
• Why imposter syndrome may have more to do with who you’ve had to be than who you’re becoming
• How imposter syndrome shows up in the journey of allyship
