Millions of people - CEOs and entry-level professionals, first year college students and PhDs, artists and engineers - secretly worry they’re not as smart or talented as other people “think” they are. It's called impostor syndrome and it impacts both individuals and their organizations. Left unchecked, it can lead to costly consequences not only for individuals but for their organizations as well. Fortunately, there is a solution.
In this surprisingly upbeat session, you will:
- Understand what impostor syndrome is – and what it is not
- Discover the perfectly good reasons why bright people feel like frauds
- Understand how impostor syndrome intersects with diversity and inclusion – and why it matters
- Identify your personal “Competence Type”
- Explore how impostor syndrome shows up as a pattern
- Recognize the individual and organizational costs of impostor syndrome
- Leave with practical, immediately usable strategies to help yourself and/or those you manage, mentor, or parent to address impostor syndrome
