Imposter syndrome isn’t a sign that you don’t belong. More often than not, it’s the gap between who you see yourself as today and who you think you need to become before you’re “ready.”
Every solicitor, barrister, partner and judge has had a “first” at some point. A first client meeting; a first hearing; a first difficult conversation. They didn’t know everything, they learned by doing.

Your future self isn’t waiting for you to become fearless. They’re waiting for you to take the first step.
