Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• When I’m handed something past what I actually know, I nod and act like I’ve got it rather than admit the gap, then scramble in secret to cover
• When I want people to take me seriously I tend to lead with my résumé and how much I know, and I can feel it land as bragging
• Someone asks "so what are you looking for?" and I ramble out something vague and apologetic
• There’s a whole category of small things I quietly dodge
• In meetings I feel this pull to sound sure even about the parts I’m not, especially in my own area
