As part of their series on Women Founders, Doug Noll recently interviewed Felena Hanson, the founder of Hera Hub.
“Ditch imposter syndrome — You will, from time to time, feel like a fraud. Note it, and get over it. Even some of the most successful women I’ve met tell me deep down that they fear being “figured out.” Dr. Valerie Young is a leading expert on the impostor syndrome and the author of the award-winning book “The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It.” Boys are raised to bluff and exaggerate. Girls, on the other hand, learn early to distrust their opinions and stifle their voices. They discover the highest physical, behavioral, and intellectual standards judge them. Perfection becomes the goal, and every flaw, mistake, or criticism is internalized — slowly hollowing out self-confidence.”
