With Clare Josa MEng, Best-selling author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome
Clare Josa’s 2024 international research study found that 62% of people struggle daily or regularly with Imposter Syndrome, to an extent that it impacts their performance and their wellbeing.
It’s the secret fear of others finding you out as somehow not being good enough, even if the outside world thinks you’re confident.
It causes people to self-sabotage, by holding back with their ideas, toning down their opinions, not going for opportunities to be more visible, and lying awake at 3am, beating themselves up, worrying that they made a mistake in hiring you. People put on masks and armour to feel safe, and change who they are, to fit in.
Clare’s research also shows that it’s directly linked to burnout and can turn a thriving team toxic in as few as six weeks.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
In this inspirational, interactive session, Clare is going to take you through the essentials from science and her research, so you can spot the early warning signs in yourself or in others in your teams. And she’ll share with you practical actions you can take to start turning things around, in minutes, not months.
By the end of the session you’ll have already taken the first steps towards being able to share your ideas with more courage, confidence and passion, helping those around you to do that, too.
