This episode of No One Teaches You This dives into one of the most common — and least talked about — challenges in leadership: Imposter Syndrome.
That quiet voice that tells you you’re not good enough.
That feeling of being “found out”.
That pressure to prove yourself, even when you’ve already earned your seat at the table.
I’m joined by Iain Campbell — an experienced tech leader who speaks openly and honestly about dealing with imposter syndrome throughout his career. (LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/iainca/)
We talk candidly about self-doubt, confidence, identity, leadership pressure, and what it’s really like behind the scenes when you’re expected to have all the answers.
This isn’t theory. It’s real leadership, in the real world.
In this episode, we cover:
• What imposter syndrome actually feels like at senior level
• Why high performers are often the ones who suffer most
• The pressure of leadership identity and expectations
• How comparison quietly wrecks confidence
• Why promotion can make self-doubt worse, not better
• Practical ways to manage imposter syndrome day to day
• What to do when your inner critic is louder than your evidence
If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “good enough” — especially as you progress in your career — this one will really hit home.
