The Imposter Syndrome Banishing Spell | Dona Sarkar | TEDxUIUC

[@limini]

My takeaway: 1. Identify what you CAN DO / ARE QUALIFIED TO DO and good at for the specific project or area you are working in. 2. Identify what you are NOT GOOD AT / NOT QUALIFIED TO DO for the specific project or task or area you are working on. 3. WHO IS QUALIFIED to do these things you are not good/qualified at? 4. HOW did the qualified people learn? HOW CAN YOU do the same? 5. Who can you ask to help or partner? Or can you learn it from them and do it yourself? Amazing talk! Happy International Women’s day!

WOW THIS WAS SO GOOD. I've watched about 3 other TED Talks on Imposter Syndrome directly before this and this one absolutely stood out, likely because of the very vulnerability she spoke about. Hearing her stories about how scared she was and how much she didn't believe in her own abilities, as she's standing up there doing the very thing she's terrified of, was so inspiring and beautiful. I'm gonna put the thing I wanna do right out there, right now: I dream of starting a channel, right here on KZbin, of calligraphy videos and positivity talks, to help both relax people when they're stressed and build them up and teach them with the power of the internet. I've done 0% of this so far, I have made 0 videos, but I do have a portfolio of more than 30 calligraphy signs that I've made so far. I want to show the process of making them and show people how easy it actually is, to inspire them to make encouraging signs for themselves like I have. I've never made a process video before, I've never even made a video of any kind before. But I know people who have. I could ask for their help and they'd gladly give it. I can figure out the parts that I don't know yet. Plenty of people have done it, I totally can do it too. If nothing else, I need to do it for the people who will benefit from the videos, whoever they may be. Lolz thanks for coming to my TED talk

The only video about Imposter Syndrome that actually gave some proper advice.

I'm so glad I met you back in 2008 and started in the same team at Microsoft. I've been a fan of your passion to reach out to engineers and bring out their best, their potential. Again, I'm glad we crossed paths and I always keep looking for the next great inspiration that comes from your work, your reach, your mentorship. Your talks have an impact on many engineers, myself included. You are an amazing leader!

[@aminagamaliel]

Profound, watching this is makes me realize that you coming to Nigeria set my path in motion. I am today an App Maker from Nigeria and I remember hearing your name from our Microsoft Community Leader in Jos Plateau State. I need to hear all that you have said in this video.🙏🇳🇬

[@PriyankaUppal]

Mind blowing! Walking away feeling so inspired. Thank you Dona for being so vulnerable and sharing your gifts with the world.

[@waleedalrashed1411]

Thank you so much, Dona, this talk is amazing! like I always think that I can't do stuff, and I'm convinced that I can't do them, but in the end, it turns out that I can.

[@raeesagabriels4099]

Amazing talk!! So much of what was presented absolutely resonated with me. I had no idea this is such a prevalent issue. Mostly your honesty and willingness to be vulnerable really made the talk relatable.

[@actazrath5878]

I love spread sheet, boxes everywhere. 🤤

[@marinhobrandao]

loved this!

[@kashifrana6798]

Great talk. But I am wondering how is it possible that you learned business in 2 weeks and then Spanish in short span of time :) In my opinion, that is the real issue that makes person imposter that he only looks at the limitation he has and knows cannot fill the gap quickly and stressed out and loss confidence as he will be questions and he will not have answers. Like you work for a customer as consultant and imposter person feel before technical meeting with customer.

[@kfc7968]

Wonderful!

[@bemasen4470]
