RL 87: Neha Sampat— Imposter Syndrome: The Mindset and Culture That is Plaguing Lawyers
In this episode, I am excited to have Neha Sampat on to talk about Imposter Syndrome: the mindset and culture that plagues lawyers.
Neha Sampat is CEO, founder, coach, and consultant at GenLead|BelongLab, where she focuses on building belonging and true inclusion. Through consulting, training, speaking, and writing, she helps organizations create peak-performance, inclusive teams by addressing hidden barriers to belonging, such as Imposter Syndrome and internalized bias, unconscious bias, and generational diversity. Through professional development coaching, she helps her individual clients develop job situations and leadership styles that engage their true and best selves.
Neha practiced law at both large and boutique law firms, and later joined law academia as dean of students and adjunct professor of law and leadership. She brings to her consulting and coaching practice her experience supporting and supervising thousands of diverse students and staff members and also successfully collaborating with stakeholders of various generations.

Topics Covered
Neha kicks off the episode defining Imposter Syndrome, how to overcome and handle feelings of Imposter Syndrome, and how resilience and Imposter Syndrome/self-doubt connected. How the professional creates a culture that feeds Imposter Syndrome, why lawyers are at increased risk for Imposter Syndrome and how being a good lawyer isn’t about knowing all the answers, but rather knowing where to look for and find the answers. With the stakes and sense of perfectionism being so high for lawyers, Neha talks on what lawyers can do to reduce instead of feed Imposter Syndrome in themselves and in the profession.
