Albert Einstein once said the attention he received made him feel like "an involuntary swindler," which, in modern terms, means he suffered from Imposter Syndrome, the sensation that you are illegitimate and undeserving of the status you have. If even Einstein suffered this disorder, is there hope for us "mortals" without his gifts and genius? The answer is 'yes,' and I present a strategy to overcome imposter syndrome in your life, unlock your full potential, and achieve the recognition you deserve. https://BrianKeating.com #TEDxSanDiego #TEDxSpeaker #TEDTalk #ImposterSyndrome #Einstein #Scientist Brian G.
