90-minute virtual session
From time to time we will all have doubts about our ability and whether we ‘belong’. This is never truer than at work. Imposter syndrome is the feeling that we don’t deserve the position of responsibility that we have and therefore find it difficult to take pride in our achievements and can feel like a ‘fraud’. In particular, there is a perception that this ‘confidence gap’ is holding women back in the workplace.
This practical workshop, aimed at all colleagues, looks at the evidence surrounding imposter syndrome and explores practical ways that organisations and colleagues can create inclusive environments to support others to develop and excel.
Learning objectives
- Understand imposter syndrome and where it comes from
- Explore the impact it may have in the workplace
