"Do you have a voice in your head telling you you're not good enough? Yes? Join the Imposter Syndrome Club! Women's inequality in the workplace is costing the economy trillions of pounds a year. Much could be solved by replacing that voice with the voice of <b>Rita Clifton</b> instead. This jargon busting, business icon and brand guru will get inside your brain and give you the tools you need to get to the top and most importantly know you deserve to be there."
Kathryn Parsons MBE, CEO & Co-founder Decoded
"<b>Rita Clifton</b>, as anyone who has ever heard her speak knows, is warm, witty, wise and wonderfully inspiring, and her new book is all of those things too. Reading this book makes you feel like you are in the room with her, with Rita as your own personal mentor as you navigate your life and career. Her advice to people going to speak in public at a gathering of any size is 'Show up as a human' and nowhere is Rita more human than in this book."
Professor Heather McGregor, CBE (Mrs Moneypenny), Executive Dean, Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University
"Finally - someone tackling the imposter syndrome head-on! Enough talking about the fact we have it - at last a book that actually deals with it! If I could have her beside me throughout my own business journey I would. Relatable, funny, down to earth and a woman who's been there, done it and knows what she is talking about. A must-read for every woman across the country."

"<b><i>Love Your Imposter</i></b> is a brilliant book and it couldn't have come a better time. We are seeing a human revolution where professional and personal boundaries are blurred especially for women. This book gives us inspirational yet practical tips on how to navigate this new world. <b>Rita Clifton</b> writes with refreshing honesty about her career and beginnings and explores concepts such as strength in vulnerability, communication and ways we can all be more empathic to ourselves. I loved it!"
