Imposter syndrome is a diagnosis commonly used in the workplace today.
Even if most of us don’t like to admit to it, the feeling that you’re a fraud, or supposedly not qualified enough to do your job and may be caught out, can lead to serious feelings of insecurity and self-consciousness. This feeling is experienced by almost everyone at some point in their lives and isn’t only unique to professional work.
However, the feeling that one’s successes aren’t deserved and haven’t been legitimately achieved are more common in certain people in society.

This is particularly true for intersectional individuals who experience marginalisation from more than one of these factors.
