Episode 182
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
You’ve lived by the motto “fake it till you make it” - but what happens when you actually make it?
In this episode of Confident at Work, we tackle a question that so many professionals face when stepping up into more senior roles: “I’ve made it - now what?”
We explore why the strategy of fake it till you make it can start to backfire:
- Why “fake it till you make it” has a shelf life
- How faking confidence can actually fuel imposter syndrome
- The habits and internal skills you can build to start trusting yourself at work
- How to move from exhausting pretence to real, sustainable confidence
If you’re stepping into a more senior position, struggling with self-doubt, or wondering how to maintain confidence without faking it, this episode is for you.
