Estimates say that 70% of the population struggles with an intense sense of self-doubt – impostor syndrome. Oscar winner Tom Hanks and former Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg say they are among that number, proof that even great success is not a guaranteed antidote. Psychologists Lisa and Richard Orbé-Austin present a straightforward program for confronting and overcoming impostor syndrome. They focus on replacing counterproductive coping mechanisms, building a support system and revising negative self-talk.
