Listen "Ep #2 The Imposter Cycle: Why Every New Project Feels Like Starting From Scratch"
Episode Synopsis
You're in your consulting career and about to start a new project with a new client. The client meeting starts in 10 minutes. Your heart's racing, palms are sweaty, and there's a voice in your head saying: "They're going to realize I have no idea what I'm doing." Sound familiar? Whether you're just in the door in consulting or 10 years in, you still get that feeling. It’s not just you. Even partners with decades of experience feel like imposters when they step into a new client environment. Today, we're breaking down why this happens, why it's actually not a bad thing, and how to use this feeling to your advantage instead of letting it derail your confidence. I'm Negar, and welcome to The Consulting Game, where we talk about everything to do with your consulting career – including the parts most people don't discuss. Let's dive in.
