Earlier this month I had the opportunity to speak at the Inspired@ Summit at Google’s NYC office. The event brought together 150 students to learn about Area 120, Google’s internal workshop for experimental products.
I spoke about imposter syndrome — something I’ve dealt with throughout my career. For a long time I tried to completely eliminate it, but I’ve learned that it honestly comes and goes. The more I challenge myself, the more I can feel it creeping back up. I’ve come to accept it as part of the process. If I’m feeling it, it usually means I’m growing and pushing myself somewhere new.
It was a great reminder of why these conversations matter.
