Being a VP doesn’t mean imposter syndrome disappears.

I have imposter syndrome every minute of every day. But as I'm talking to every person in my kind of position, once you get up to a certain position anyway, I feel like imposter syndrome just comes with the job and it's all about ignoring that voice and just knowing that your gut reaction is actually right most of the time. So imposter syndrome is kind of tricky because what I found in those first couple of months was that the job of VP Marketing was not the job that I thought. So when I was having the initial conversation about taking on the role, the CEO and I discussed that. Am I ready? Really? I don't do demand gen. I haven't really handled advertising in a long time. Since my first startup that I was at. Are you sure you don't want to promote X, Y, Z person instead? And she said no, like you don't quite understand what the role is yet, but you'll learn. And I have learned. So what I've learned is that you do need to be a T shaped marketer where you have to have a little bit of experience in everything. But what I also learned is that the VP marketing job is not a execution role. It is a completely different role.
