There are many factors at the intersection of toxic workplaces, imposter syndrome, and DEI. For example, do I have imposter syndrome or does my boss? Or rather, is my discomfort due to the fact that this is a toxic workplace? And further, how does my identity play into all of this? No matter the answer to these questions, at the end of the day, work should not be hazardous to our health.
Dr. Orbé-Austin shares the US Surgeon General’s formal definition of a toxic workplace, tools for overcoming your imposter syndrome, and what DEI actually means in this illuminating conversation.
What we will explore in this episode:
How the pandemic allowed us to have more expansive conversations about toxic workplaces and burnout.
What your imposter syndrome can tell you about your environment.
The signs that your boss might have imposter syndrome.
Managing up and modeling boundaries.
How does a remote work environment impact imposter syndrome?
What is double impact imposter syndrome?
Masking (or “covering”) pieces of your identity at work.
The first step that leaders need to take to shift company culture.
