Roughly 70 percent of Americans have struggled with imposter syndrome at some point. Here's how MMM ensures our clients don't deal with this:

Rochester, NY — In a recent feature for Bold Journey, the CEO of Mañón Media Management, Tianna Mañón, shared how mission-driven leaders and visionaries can push past imposter syndrome and overwhelm—two challenges that often derail visibility efforts and long-term success.
Known for securing national press for clients while refining their messaging for maximum impact, the firm emphasized that conquering imposter syndrome isn’t just about confidence—it’s about strategy.
"Imposter syndrome is such an interesting term," said Mañón. "The idea that you’re in a space and you feel like an imposter because you shouldn’t be there. But the only person saying you shouldn’t be there is…you. You’ve already been selected for this space. You clearly belong...If you don't agree, you'll start self-selecting out of rooms and this can devastate your growth and journey."
The feature highlighted a core truth: visibility without alignment can backfire. When leaders don’t address their self-doubt, they risk missing key opportunities or saying “yes” to the wrong ones, leading to burnout and stalled growth.

“Our work isn’t only about press placements,” the firm shared. “It’s about ensuring that every client is prepared to step into each room, each interview, and each headline with clarity, confidence, and the ability to move their mission forward.”
For leaders battling imposter syndrome, this approach creates more than visibility. It:
Maximizes every opportunity by showing up prepared and confident
Prevents misaligned commitments that drain time and resources
Builds sustainable momentum without burnout or scattershot PR
As the firm continues to scale its impact, one message is clear: confidence paired with strategy doesn’t just create headlines—it changes the trajectory of entire organizations.
