Imposter Syndrome is different for people of colour. It’s not just internal. It’s environmental.
You know about regular Imposter Syndrome – the one where you think you’re a fraud, tell yourself your success is down to luck and think that any minute now you’re going to be exposed – but do you know about environmental Imposter Syndrome and are you aware of how it’s holding you back?
In this episode I explain how Imposters syndrome can hold you back as a black lawyer, even when you don’t think you’re a fraud. I introduce you to the concept of “environmental imposter syndrome” the feeling that your an imposter that results from working in a firm or organisation that is neither diverse nor inclusive and / or where you’re subjected to racism or feel you can’t be your true self.
