Microaggressions in the workplace are a major cause of imposter syndrome, particularly for female employees, writes Fitch Learning's Sarah Butt. Build resilience by developing a kinder inner voice, learning to self-regulate and participating in forums for culture change, Butt advises.
Beginning pay for small-business workers declined by 7.5% on a year-over-year basis in March, according to data from payroll and benefits software provider Gusto.

Self-confidence in a leader doesn't mean throwing your weight around but is more about "humility, respect and honest self-evaluation," executive coach Joel Garfinkle writes. Five ways to practice the right kind of self-confidence include embracing personal development and motivating others.
It was late in the game and the score was close. Vince took the snap, dropped back into the pocket and scoured the field for his receivers. I watched, nervous, as West Ranch’s giant defensive end broke through the Oxnard line and zeroed in on Vince. My nephew tucked the ball into his side, scrambled right and headed down the flank.
The entire West Ranch defense swept toward Vince and dove for his legs. Vince leaped into the air. My stomach flipped over as I watched him sail over the pile of players on the ground. He landed, stiff-armed another tackler and ran out of bounds, on the Oxnard sideline. His teammates cheered and pounded his back as he turned back to the field and flipped the ball to the ref. I watched him jog back to the line and couldn't help but marvel at his courage and composure.
Confidence. Joel Garfinkle talks about developing self-confidence in today’s HR Leader story. “When you’re confident and comfortable with yourself, failure and limitations will seem less intimidating,” he writes.
I saw that in Vince often when he played. He was confident enough in his skill to make split-second decisions that involved risk, but he embraced it. He knew he might fail, but he was confident he could recover if he did. He didn’t let the risk of failure keep him from putting all of himself into his decisions. And for this reason, he was admired and respected by his teammates, coaches and fans (and a very doting aunt).
