Event Details
What is Imposter Syndrome?
Thereās been a number of blogs, articles and videos about Imposter Syndrome. Many individuals identify with Imposter Syndrome but do we really understand what this syndrome is?
Throughout our lifetime, up to 70% of people experience āImpostor Syndrome.ā Impostor syndrome refers to the internal experience of believing that you are not as competent as others perceive you to be.
Individuals with Impostor Syndrome often attribute their success to external factors such as luck, rather than their own abilities or intelligence. These beliefs and behaviours can become a pervasive issue that can hinder leadership and team functioning, lead to overwork, and burnout, and may be signs of Impostor Syndrome.
Weāre delighted to have Kerry Black, PCC, MEd share her knowledge, expertise and experience to guide us in learning more about Imposter Syndrome and how we might support individuals who identify with Imposter Syndrome.
Please join us to learn more about Impostor Syndrome, and a simple 3-C strategy that can encourage individuals to reframe their experience and build new understandings.
