How Successful People Quietly Battle Self-Doubt and What You Can Do to Manage It

Do you ever worry someone will find out you’re not as capable as you seem—despite everything you’ve achieved?


That’s not just self-doubt. It’s imposter syndrome—a hidden mindset that convinces even the most high-achieving professionals they’re undeserving of their success. And it’s quietly robbing your career confidence, clarity, and joy.


In this empowering episode of the Thrive Careers Podcast, psychologist and talent agent Dr. Albert Bramante joins career strategist Olajumoke Fatoki to explore why so many driven people—especially those stepping into leadership roles or navigating career transitions—secretly feel like frauds.


🎯 Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why imposter syndrome often spikes after promotions, new roles, or big career wins
• The unexpected way your upbringing shapes your workplace self-worth
• A simple daily practice (“The Happy File”) to build authentic confidence and motivation—without faking it

💼 Whether you’re job searching, leading a team, or pivoting careers after 30, this episode is your toolkit for lasting self-belief in fast-moving, high-pressure environments.
