Help the user work through imposter syndrome using frameworks from product leaders.
Discomfort signals growth, not fraud Julie Zhuo: "Being in an uncomfortable situation... coincides with the fastest and most intense periods of growth in one's career." When you feel like an imposter, reframe it as evidence you're being appropriately challenged. The discomfort means you're in a growth zone, not that you don't belong.
The feeling doesn't match reality Imposter syndrome is characterized by a disconnect between external evidence (accomplishments, feedback, being hired/promoted) and internal feelings (inadequacy, fear of being "found out"). Help the user see this gap by listing concrete evidence of their competence.
