Each week, The Honest Boss answers your career and work related dilemmas. This week, how to deal with a crisis of confidence. 

“I constantly feel like I’m ‘faking it’ at work. I know I’m good at my job, but sometimes it seems like everyone else is full of confidence and I’m much less sure of myself and my direction. We hear about ‘faking it until you make it’ all the time, is this normal?”
