Imposter Syndrome Rachel Collingridge @missbassethorn
Why? Highly prevalent in • high-achievers • women • those
in the IT industry
What is it? feeling like a fraud… doubting your own
ability… putting successes down to luck… … when all external evidence points to the contrary
What else is it? • imagining everyone else is an
expert
A bit about me • trained musician • accidental software
developer • .NET to Rails developer
What’s my interest? Melbourne RubyConf 2015: “Feeling Like a Better
Developer” Joss Paling @joshuapaling
What to do? • we know about it, how to
fix it?
Joss Paling’s “6 things” 1. share / talk / read
2. teach 3. opine (back yourself!) 4. don’t undervalue soft skills 5. work with others 6. get some work/life balance
Rachel’s “just 1 more thing” • don’t stop challenging yourself
Cured? probably not… … but to be conscious of self-doubt
is a step towards overcoming it
