MBA WAVES: Slaying the Dragon of Imposter Syndrome (Episode 120)

Join the coaches of MBA Waves - Bara Sapir, Eric Lucrezia, and Krithika Srinivasan - as we face our fears and probably our own worst critic - ourselves! Imposter Syndrome is very often how this manifests, where we somehow feel that we don't deserve the position at work, at school, or in life that we have. The more this feeling grips our minds, the more paralyzing it can be. When it comes to MBA Admissions, such a feeling can be incredibly limiting. It may hold us back from applying to the top schools because we reject ourselves before we even applY. Our maybe we apply, but it makes us underperform in the application or interview process. This week, we are joined by Megan Stiphany, of Stiphany Consulting, who works with MBA applicants seeking admission to some of the best schools in the world. Together, we'll discuss what exactly is Imposter Syndrome, what might be some common causes, and how to beat it once and for all!
