Today I take a walk (literally!), get chased by a dog (seriously!) and talk about impostor syndrome and feelings of self-loathing and doubt as I get ready to speak at Secure360 next week (insert wah-wah-waaaaaaahhhhhhh here). How do you deal with impostor syndrome? Personally, I'm finding some success in squashing it by forcing myself into situations where I feel like a fraud - over and over again! Over time, I feel slightly less like a sham and a bit more like I know what I'm talking about. Specifically, in this episode I talk about: The thrill of getting a presentation accepted at a conference, and the dread and fear that follows The awful nightmare I have the night before I speak in front of others Shaking off nerves when your talk is accompanied by a sign language interpreter Finding your "voice" and getting the confidence to share/present your knowledge in a way only you can I also share the outline to my "So You Wanna Start a Security Company?" talk, which includes: What are the telltale signs that you should start a security company? How do you find business when everybody and their mom seems to have a security offering? What are some of the tools/services/people that can help your business succeed?
