Ever feel one mistake away from being “found out”?  You’re not alone.  Former NASA propulsion engineer Maureen Zappala shares how imposter syndrome secretly affects high performers and provides practical strategies to overcome self-doubt that holds us back from our full potential. Maureen shares her journey from melting equipment at NASA’s jet engine test facility to becoming the first female and youngest manager of its Propulsion Systems Lab.  Despite her impressive credentials, she constantly questioned her worth, even believing she was hired only because she was a woman. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Maureen's practical framework for tackling imposter syndrome.  She outlines five powerful strategies that begin with recognizing the symptoms and culminate in connecting with your deeper purpose.
