One of my biggest challenges across my career has been self doubt. Becoming a Chartered Manager helped overcome this feeling of imposter syndrome. When you’ve got something like Chartered Manager status and an institute of CMI’s size saying, ‘We’ve validated this person’, that gives you a wealth of confidence in your abilities.
