Explore the impact of Imposter Syndrome, its roots and strategies to build confidence and overcome self-doubt in the workplace
Impostor Syndrome (also known as Impostor Phenomenon) refers to feelings of being a fraud and underestimating capability despite contrary evidence. While many of us experience it at some point in our professional lives, when experienced frequently or at a high level, it can lead to detrimental personal and professional outcomes.
Recent research into Impostor Syndrome has sought to understand more about the impacts, triggers, coping strategies and how organisations can help their people.
Organisations can mitigate or exacerbate or mitigate the experience of Impostor Syndrome. By creating a supportive and open environment, organisations can help disrupt the internal negative thought processes of Impostor Syndrome, enabling individuals and their organisations to flourish.
In this webinar, Helen will share the research findings to help raise awareness of the concept and its impacts. She will also discuss practical interventions at the levels of individual engagement, organisational culture and wider organisational support.
Through the webinar individuals will learn about the concept and impacts at a personal level and also how they can better lead and support their teams and wider organisation.
Key takeaways from the session will be:
