When being the boss still feels like pretending

I'm the one running the meeting now, the one people wait to hear from, and part of me still feels like I snuck in. Growing up I never saw anyone who looked like me standing where I'm standing. So even when I'm doing the job well, it feels like I'm wearing a costume of someone who's actually allowed to be here.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Holding authority feels like pretending because you never saw anyone like you in it.
