Do you feel like your successes are mostly due to luck? Do you feel undeserving of praise? Do you avoid highlighting your accomplishments for fear of being called out? Let bestselling author and accomplished businesswoman Jill Chang show you how to stop negating yourself and embrace your capabilities and talents.
In spite of their accomplishments, many successful professionals are plagued by the feeling that they're just getting by on luck, and that their next project could be their undoing. Known as imposter syndrome, this condition can have a negative impact on our careers as we pull away from important opportunities for fear of being exposed as a fraud. Author Jill Chang, a self-described "extreme introvert" who inspired more than 200,000 readers with her previous best-selling title Quiet Is a Superpower, now returns with You Deserve to Shine to address this common problem. Once again drawing on personal experience and honest self-examination, she shares the tools and techniques she used to deal with her own imposter syndrome.
The first half of the book shows readers what imposter syndrome is, how it operates, and why it afflicts certain people, breaking down common misperceptions and helping readers understand the value of a positive sense of self. The second half guides readers through practices and techniques, including a practical step-by-step program for addressing imposter syndrome. Readers will learn how to silence their inner critic, build self-esteem, restore confidence, seek out positive support networks, and detox from the negative influences of social media. Specific strategies are provided for readers working in various industries, roles, and stages of their careers. Whether you are a recent graduate at your first job, a high-level manager, or someone transitioning to a new career, you will find targeted advice to meet your situation.
Despite her impressive accomplishments as an author and philanthropic advisor, Jill Chang also found herself struggling with imposter syndrome. Integrating her personal experiences, practical techniques, and research-backed insights, Jill gently guides readers through their struggles with self-doubt, encouraging them on a path of personal growth towards a satisfying work-life where they can let their talents shine.
