In workplace settings, at least, those harboring impostor-type concerns tend to compensate for their perceived shortcomings by being good team players with strong social skills, and are often recognized as productive workers by their employers.

I’ve responded to this by developing and refining one of my favorite techniques—a warm up exercise for my writing: copywork.
