As cannabis becomes a regular part of our daily wellness practice, we thought we’d ask Dr. Valerie Young whether imposter syndrome exists in the cannabis industry. Valerie is the author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer From the Imposter Syndrome and How to Thrive Despite It. She has worked with associations and non-profits, institutes and government, and corporate clients. But because the cannabis industry is emerging and everyone from scientists to community folks are learning as we go, some have quietly dealt with feeling like an imposter from time to time. The old “Fake it until you make it,” has its own repercussions. I had the good future of “discovering” Valerie about ten years ago through her Profit from Your Passion business that she has since sold. She is an incisive creative thinker and entrepreneur that I admire. So I really wanted her guidance as I move forward in my cannabis career. I thought my listeners might also enjoy her wisdom. What she knows makes a lot of sense.
