How to tame the dragon, or leadership with imposter syndrome [ukr]
Talk presentation
Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that most of us suffer from to one degree or another. I'm no exception and have faced this for most of my IT career, which has been around 10 years. I did not immediately understand that the impostor syndrome is one of the biggest blockers for my personal and career development. When I understood it, I gradually started, with small and large steps, fighting with a syndrome in all available ways. In my talk, I will share my story and how it helped me grow from an ordinary developer to a team leader and, eventually, the leader of the entire department.
