Because when we talk about this alternative reality, because one is because, first of all, we all know people who are suffering the Dunning-Kruger effect.

They're in every meeting we're in.

And I want people to realize as you're unconsciously choosing to underestimate, there are other people that are unconsciously choosing to overestimate.

Wouldn't it be better if we all chose to estimate accurately?

And so sometimes it's easier to see it, to see the opposite in someone else or be like, whoa, I'd like you to dial it back.

Well, you know what?

Whoa, I'd like you to dial it up.

And I think I like to say unconscious choice because I'm not sure that people are deliberately choosing to do it.

But after this session, you'll be deliberately choosing to continue doing it when we give you some alternatives.

Right.

I'm not sure we can recognize it in ourselves accurately.

But if you think you have imposter syndrome, you probably do.

That's first number one.

But anytime there's any self-diagnosis, go to people who know you and love you and ask them.

And you don't even have to use the word imposter syndrome.

You can use the clinical definition.

In the sea of distortions, do you get the sense that I am overestimating my accomplishments, underestimating, or I'm just right on target?

And see where people come out.

I believe we are revealing it a lot more than to everyone else, but perhaps not to ourselves.

I love this question because I almost never think about it.
