Acknowledging T he Problem
Karyn Schoenbart, CEO of The NPD Group, used to live in fear that everyone would find out she likes reading People Magazine, which would call into question whether she was really cut out for her job. That's until she learned that many others felt the exact same way -- the fear that their positions within their companies would be called into question, or that maybe on some level, they weren't quite good enough.
"It was liberating to learn that others felt this way," she said. "What I want to get to is how do we get over that, take the opportunities, and be more confident."
