Imposter syndrome - and how to beat it

Many of us are secretly suffering with imposter syndrome, even if we don’t realise it. Put simply, it’s a continuous fear of not living up to expectations, and it can strike us both in our work and our personal lives. You can’t see it, and likely your colleagues won’t spot it, but it can have a very real impact on our ability to achieve our potential and to have confidence in ourselves to deliver.

 

If your inner thoughts are saying “one of these days they’ll realise I don’t know what I’m doing” or “why on earth did they hire me?” then chances are you know what we’re talking about. And it’s not about humility or modesty in the work place, imposter syndrome can do real damage, creating anxiety and leaving you unable to enjoy your successes.

 

And, you’re in good company. Some of the most famous and successful people in the world have suffered with imposter syndrome: Tom Hanks, Lady Gaga, Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and Howard Schultz, former Chairman and CEO of Starbucks, to name a few.

 

This webinar will focus on sharing tips and techniques on how to beat imposter syndrome, helping you develop self-awareness with specific actionable steps along with understanding what this phenomenon is. It doesn’t need to hold us back, we just need the right techniques, tips and understanding where it comes from.
