Connect with us at Communication Skills for Working Women on Facebook

Starting a new job can trigger anxiety, worry, and self-doubt—even when you’re capable and prepared. In this episode, we explore why imposter syndrome is so common early in your career and how it quietly shapes the way you communicate at work. Using the Immunity to Change framework, we unpack the hidden fears and assumptions that keep you silent and share practical, low-pressure ways to speak with confidence while you’re still learning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why imposter syndrome often shows up when you’re new
• How anxiety and worry impact workplace communication
• What keeps you quiet even when you have something valuable to say
• Simple experiments for speaking up without waiting to feel “ready”
• Why confidence is built through action—not certainty

This episode is for women who want to communicate with credibility, trust themselves more at work, and stop letting self-doubt run the conversation.
