Imposter syndrome affects 82% of the global workforce, according to a 2020 review. In the UK, Manchester has the highest average monthly searches for imposter syndrome, followed by Leeds, Birmingham, and London. The study suggests that cities with higher imposter syndrome rates may have a greater representation of women and minority groups in their labor force. Imposter syndrome is not limited to the professional realm, as students, particularly those from minority backgrounds, are also susceptible. Businesses and individuals can overcome imposter syndrome by recognizing it, asking for support, being kind to oneself, focusing on self-validation, and reframing negative self-talk. Businesses can support employees by creating psychologically safe working climates, encouraging work-life balance, celebrating successes, avoiding a blame culture, adopting mentoring and coaching practices, and spotting signs of imposter syndrome in colleagues. The cities with the least searches for imposter syndrome are Newport, Blackpool, and Sunderland, which are known for heavy industry rather than service-based jobs. [Extracted from the article]
