Have you ever thought of yourself as a fraud or a fake... waiting for others to 'find out' that you aren't really as smart or talented as everyone thinks? If you haven't felt this way, many folks on your team probably have. "Impostor Syndrome" affects the majority of women at work-but men are not immune either. In a 2018 study, two-thirds of women suffered from feelings of Impostor Syndrome (along with almost half of men surveyed). It can hold you back from achieving your potential and wreak havoc on your team dynamic and business.

A lack of confidence and self-worth is a major barrier to professional growth. Those touched by the impostor wand shy away from promotions, delay taking action, burn themselves out and more. That's why this insightful keynote provides valuable methods for building confidence and managing Impostor Syndrome--whether it's for yourself or your team.
