Ep 46. Imposter Syndrome and Workplace Conflict: A Hidden Connection with Melanie Manning & Kenya Salaudeen
What happens when high-achieving women doubt their success—and how does it ripple through the workplace? In this episode of the TroopHR podcast, Taylor Bradley is joined by executive coach Melanie Manning and workplace conflict mediator Kenya Salaudeen for a powerful conversation on the link between imposter syndrome and organizational friction.
Drawing from coaching sessions, personal insights, and HR leadership experience, Melanie and Kenya unpack how feelings of self-doubt can quietly erode confidence, hinder performance, and even escalate workplace conflict. They explore practical strategies to help individuals name and overcome imposter feelings, and offer guidance for HR leaders aiming to create psychologically safe environments where every voice is validated. From faking it till you make it to performance review disconnects, this episode offers both personal and organizational perspectives on a deeply human experience still shaping the workforce.
