Whenever our design leadership group discusses design team members, I often hear comments like: “She is a brilliant designer but lacks confidence in her ability” or “He is great at creating solutions but doesn’t have the self-confidence to persuade people that his idea is great” or that “She has no trust in her ability even though she consistently produces great work.”
All of us have experienced feelings of doubt and unworthiness at some point in our lives. But when we feel inadequate despite our accomplishments being a result of our own hard work, knowledge, and preparation – we’re probably experiencing something called impostor syndrome.
