Thinking your way out of imposter syndrome | Valerie Young

Feeling like an imposter can set anyone back a few notches in terms of self-esteem -- imposter syndrome can make you rethink all your decisions and lower your confidence. Valerie Young examines what causes imposter syndrome -- and shares ways we can reframe our own thoughts to stop thinking like an imposter. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by Valerie Young. Filmed at TEDNYC Idea Search 2017. NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube’s comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We’d love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you’d like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G to discuss with your networks.
