Gender Pay Gap: 8 Ways That Women Are Paying The Price for Men’s Imposter Syndrome [Episode 69]

Ditching Imposter Syndrome

In this episode, the Ditching Imposter Syndrome takes a bold step into the gender pay gap, looking at 8 ways that men's Imposter Syndrome is preventing pay equality.

What if men’s imposter syndrome is silently shaping workplace culture—and widening the gender pay gap? We reveal findings from the 2024 Imposter Syndrome Research Study, showing how men’s suppressed imposter emotions and maladaptive coping strategies can create toxic dynamics, from micromanagement to exclusionary alpha-male cultures.

Discover eight surprising ways this impacts women’s ability to fulfil their potential and explore how organisations can break these patterns to foster true equity.
