Tips for imposter syndrome? In my first PO role and although I know I'm qualified and honestly mostly believe I can handle it, every day I expect my boss to walk through the door and claim I tricked her into hiring me or something. I usually see myself as a pretty confident person so this is kind of stressful. Tips on how to get past this?

Celebrate the small wins, and don't allow yourself to go down the rabbit hole of doubting your ability. Your boss obviously saw potential in you, otherwise you wouldn't have been given an offer. Focus on the positives and the skills you know you're good at. The rest you can learn and improve on as you go.

A lot of people experience imposter syndrome. I usually experience it when I step into a new role.

Is it just a case of new role jetters? Are you struggling with any aspects of the role?

I am in the same situation. I always doubt myself and I always think that I got my job because of luck. Even if I always get praises from everyone else, I always feel that I do not deserve it. I am trying to change the mindset and I'm in thee process. Little by little I am able to overcome the feeling although there will be times where I can't.

Hi there! With imposter syndrome, I try my best to look past my weaknesses while thinking about how I could better improve them.

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!

Men, how do you make yourself feel sexy and successful?

I feel like, I've dependend on my partners to validate me in those ways. But that makes me insecure & dependent on them. They loved me but idk if they "wanted/desired" me.

To feel sexy, I'm working on losing weight and then building muscle, but that'll take time and fade away with age anyway.

To feel successful, I mean... I have an OK career and savings, but I just don't identify either as success.

Maybe, I just want to feel desired.
