- 6. #ImpSyn Impostor Syndrome was first described by the psychologist Pauline Clance, and she and her colleague Suzanne Imes did a pioneering study in 1978 in which they talked to women in academia about their perceptions of their own qualifications, abilities, and successes. Lori will talk more about Dr. Clance, but I want to cite one quote from that study that really stood out to me. “I feel like that every day.”

- 42. #ImpSyn —Neghar Fonooni Recognize that it's just a story, and that the next few thoughts can be spent letting go of the story, rather than adding to its elements. This is an opportunity for growth and a chance to let go of the stories that are weighing you down.
- 43. #ImpSyn Exercise: Rewrite the Story— Or Reject It
- 44. #ImpSyn A Final Thought “The beauty of the impostor syndrome is you vacillate between extreme egomania and a complete feeling of: ‘I’m a fraud! Oh God, they’re on to me! I’m a fraud!’ So you just try to ride the egomania when it comes and enjoy it, and then slide through the idea of fraud.”—Tina Fey
