‘Do you recognise the imposter syndrome, have you ever felt like you were going to be found out?’
The purpose of this weeks tweet chat was for our Rising Star shortlist, judges and members to share their advice and experiences on dealing with the Imposter Syndrome.
The lively discussion saw both men and women engaging from lots of different professions and industries come together to discuss their best advice and experiences on dealing with the Imposter Syndrome. We would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to all who took part.
We will be holding more Twitter chats with our Rising Star shortlist, judges and guests every Thursday at 12:30pm for the next three weeks. To take part, tune in to @Watc_Updates on Twitter and join in the discussion (using hashtag #watctop100). For a full schedule of future chats, see below.
There were so many top tips during the tweet chat, here are just a few from our wonderful ladies. You can see the full conversation by looking up #watctop100 on Twitter.
No, it keeps you on your toes and helps you look for learning if you do. Turn the fear into passion to succeed ? https://t.co/vyCUW0barz

@WATC_Updates #watctop100 In a difficult situation, think of a time you felt positive and energised and take yourself back there. #NLP
