## Details
"Whether you think you can or you think you can't – you're right."
This powerful insight, often linked to Henry Ford, underscores how the power of belief shapes your reality. You'll find a way when you're convinced you can achieve something. When you're certain you can't, you've already lost."
Consider the pervasive challenge of Imposter Syndrome. From novice developers to seasoned tech leaders and project managers to keynote speakers at international conferences, they have all felt that nagging doubt. That voice whispers in their minds they are frauds, undeserving of their roles or accomplishments.
Why does this happen? How can we overcome it? What steps can we take to embrace the idea that it's okay not to have all the answers and learn to thrive despite our doubts?
