We all live in bubbles and we love it. People around us just understand what we say or do — there is no extra explanation needed. Sometimes we touch other worlds and realize how ignorant we are of others.

I have been submerged in the MarTech and different tech bubbles for ages. Working with software engineers and bringing tech solutions to the market defined my limited circles. I just loved talking about agile, startups, SaaS, IoT, our marketing stack, running experiments, and attending different tech trade shows. You probably couldn’t care less about it.

I Wish I Would Found out About the Impostor Syndrome Sooner

When I started coaching others on how to increase their digital presence I discovered more people with great expertise who were reluctant to show it off.

I was not advocating for myself early in my career. Thought I should stay humble and others will notice me. Unfortunately, that does not work in the digital age, especially if you are looking for a remote job.

I see it every day how great experts get overshadowed online by people with less knowledge but a willingness to self-promote. I learned that all these limitations in our heads have a lot to do with an impostor syndrome when we doubt our skills, talents, or accomplishments. On the other hand, there is a group of people without any self-doubt and depth who proclaim themselves as experts and that may have something to do with Dunning–Kruger effect.
