We’re back, baby! It’s time to reintroduce the Serendipit Weekly Roundup. Get ready for a wild ride as we spill alllll the tea—okay, maybe not all of it—but we’ll definitely be sharing a mishmash of office anecdotes, culture quirks, and industry tidbits in the most delightful and disorganized fashion. Buckle up!
LINK OF THE WEEK
Jeff Haden, a contributing editor at Inc., just put all of our worries to rest. In this enlightening article, Jeff tackles the myth of impostor syndrome and reveals its surprising benefits.
Contrary to what we may think, feeling like an imposter can actually make us more charming, productive, and even successful (as if we could get more charming). Embracing this phenomenon can lead to a remarkable shift in focus toward others and ignite a strong motivation to prove ourselves.
To read more about this eye-opening perspective, check out the full article HERE! And remember, you’re not alone in feeling like an impostor. In fact, according to the American Psychological Association, up to 82% of people face this feeling. So it’s time to change your mindset and embrace the superpower it is!
SLACK THREAD OF THE WEEK
Truly never a dull moment. Here’s a glimpse at our creative team’s daily, casual banter.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room: Andrew Leger, our resident Yachtley Crew aficionado and so-called devoted “Crewpie,” seems to have wavered in his loyalty like a yacht swaying on a choppy sea. How will he navigate this Christopher Cross-road? Is he really sailing in a different direction? One thing we know for sure is if we don’t ride like the wind to get to the bottom of it, his relationship with the Crew will never be the same. We’ll investigate this unexpected turn of events and keep you updated on the drama.
