F88: Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ – Understand The Costs & Consequences

Impostor syndrome is not just an “interesting self-help topic”; it’s a bottom-line issue. If you lead, manage, mentor, train, or coach people you need to understand impostor syndrome, its associated costs and consequences — and demand immediately usable solutions. In this session, attendees will understand the sources of impostor syndrome (it’s not all in your head!), the common (but unproductive) coping mechanisms most people default to, and the concrete actionable steps to take to mitigate the nagging self-doubts. Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ works because it teaches people to “think differently.” Simply giving people an alternative way of thinking about themselves and their competence, to develop a new, healthy response to failure, criticism, and fear — and addressing the familial, situational, social, occupational, and organizational sources of impostor syndrome — has proven to yield amazing results.
