A short spoken monologue (video transcript) distinguishing a practical form of imposter syndrome: when people genuinely cannot deliver on promises. The speaker's remedy is actionable—become the person who can do what you claim you will do (develop capability before promising).
Have you ever suffered from or known someone who suffered from imposter syndrome? I hear people talk about that. But what if you have imposter syndrome? And I think what people mean by that is, what if I feel like I can't really do the stuff I'm telling people I'm going to be able to do? Well, that's one kind of imposter syndrome. The imposter syndrome we're going to talk about today is not that one. Because the reality is, sometimes people feel like they can't fulfill on the promises simply because they can't fulfill on the promises. So what you have to do first if you don't want to suffer from an imposter syndrome, that type of impostor syndrome is become the person who can do the thing that you're going to tell people you do. Right. That's where it starts. Right.
