So we're going to now get back in touch with reality.

If you have self-diagnosed as imposter syndrome, I don't want it to be your dirty little secret.

You are in wonderful company.

I mean, wonderful company.

And A, number one, B, number two, it's ordinary enough that you don't have to go to extraordinary lengths to overcome it.

So don't think about it only at two in the morning.

Think about it at two in the afternoon when we can use really practical steps to overcome it.

I love the safe raft.

And when Pauline and Suzanne wrote about it, they called it the imposter phenomenon.

And when Dunning and Kruger found the opposite, they called it an effect.

I don't know who actually first called it a syndrome, but they didn't do us any favors.

Thank you so much for listening.
