I had the privilege of speaking with Parveen Panwar and the 5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Became a C-Suite Executive.

“Impostor syndromes is very real, many suffer from it, and it needs to be addressed. When I first started pitching my business to investors, I had so much doubt in my mind. I didn’t know all the terminology, and I felt like I was studying for a test and trying to cram info into my head to be prepared if asked any number of questions. I mentioned this to one of my mentors, an ex-CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and he confided that he had dealt this the same feelings. Once I knew that I wasn’t alone, I realized that this feeling had no place in my life because I was worthy of being where I am today.”
