Listen "Unskilled and Unaware of It – Why Some People Don’t Get Imposter Syndrome (part 1)"
Episode Synopsis
Why do the most capable people doubt themselves — while the catastrophically overconfident never do?
In Part One of our Imposter Syndrome special, Rakhee and Heather unpack the strange psychology behind self-doubt and the Dunning–Kruger effect — a bias so strong it can convince someone they’re ready to run the country (looking at you, Liz Truss 👀).
Imposter syndrome affects around 70% of people at some point in their lives — and yes, it’s a problem for men too.
🎧 Part Two coming next week features Clare Radford, Occupational Psychologist, and Pip Tomson, award-winning radio and TV presenter, sharing their experiences and insights on imposter syndrome.
