Didn’t really want to be political but… here we are. I’ll say this: regardless of who you voted for before, if you’re not loving it right now, we’re on the same side.

The leaders who succeed aren't the ones who never felt like imposters.
They're the ones who reframed anxiety as growth signals.
They're the ones who treated leadership like a skill tree, not a personality test.
🛡️ They leveled up anyway. 🛡️

Your "character build" for leadership?
⚔️ Identify your base stats (natural strengths)
🗡️ Recognize skills that need grinding
⚔️ Find mentors (your party members)
🗡️ Celebrate level-ups (small wins matter)
⚔️ Accept that some boss battles will be hard
This is the game.

Stop trying to feel "ready."
In RPGs, you don't wait until you're level 20 to take on challenges.
You take on slightly harder challenges to GET to level 20.
That uncomfortable feeling?
Literally how skill development works.

The grind to level up in D&D?
Small victories.
Consistent practice.
Learning from failures.
Leadership development works exactly the same way.
Every successful 1-on-1 = +10 XP
Every difficult conversation handled = +25 XP
Every team win = +50 XP
Stack those wins. 🎯

You don't have imposter syndrome.
You have an incomplete skill tree.
And guess what?
That's completely normal for your level.

Every experienced leader you admire?
They had this exact same moment.
The difference: they learned to treat anxiety as DATA.
"I'm nervous about this presentation" = my public speaking skill needs XP
"I feel overwhelmed" = time to build systems⚔️

The problem isn't that you feel like an imposter.
The problem is nobody told you that this feeling has a name in game design: "Challenge rating mismatch."
You're facing challenges designed for the leader you're BECOMING, not the leader you ARE right now.

Here's the thing about D&D characters AND real life builds:
Nobody starts at level 20.
Nobody begins with legendary gear.
Everyone starts underpowered.
Your first leadership role?
You're a level 1 ranger trying to navigate a level 5 dungeon.
Of course you're anxious.

Picture this scenario:You just got promoted. You're now leading a team.
You wake up at 3am thinking "they're going to figure out I don't know what I'm doing."
What if that's not imposter syndrome?
What if it's your character sheet being honest with you?
