I hate the term impostor syndrome. It's terrible branding for a completely normal feeling you get when doing new things at work.
Here's the truth: that uncomfortable feeling when you're managing people for the first time or starting a new job? It's not a syndrome to fix. It's proof you care about doing good work.
The real problem isn't the feeling鈥攊t's how we label it. When we call normal career anxiety "impostor syndrome," we make it bigger than it needs to be. Now you're trying to solve a fake problem while learning new skills.
I compare it to getting on a roller coaster. You chose to get on. The anticipation anxiety is part of the experience, not a disorder.
