Workshop - The Imposter Syndrome
Friday 22 August from 8:30am to 10:30am
Strengthening your confidence and ability to be the best you can be.
According to a recent article published by Business School of the University of Queensland "as digital disruption becomes more complex and the shocks of the pandemic continue to shake business, imposter syndrome is on the rise and in a LinkedIn survey of C-level executives during the pandemic, 72 per cent felt anxiety and self-doubt by not having all the answers, evidence that imposter syndrome can strike at any point in a career."* In addition, a KPMG study of 750 high performing senior women leaders of Fortune 1000 companies, found that 75% had experienced imposter syndrome.
In 2024, our expert speaker, Tulsi van de Graaff, was asked to speak on Overcoming Imposter Syndrome for the NSW Institute of Public Administration and a record number of around 7,000 registered for this online event!
Looking at how to strengthen your confidence and ability to be the best you can be.
Many of us at some stage struggle with self-doubt, a lack of confidence or a fear of being found out that maybe we are not as competent as others might think.
The term imposter syndrome has been used to describe these kinds of feelings. It can affect almost anyone and can motivate highly competent individuals question their abilities, feel that they don’t belong, be overcome by anxiety as a result of possible failure and dismiss their accomplishments.
This session will explore key tools and strategies to give you relief from the uncomfortable feelings associated with imposter syndrome and to strengthen your ability to engage in work and life with greater confidence and ease.
From recognising the impact of undermining thoughts to embracing gentle research based-strategies to support yourself and your nervous system, our expert speaker, Tulsi van de Graaff, will share valuable insights and actionable steps to help you overcome imposter thoughts.
This will be an interactive and welcoming session with opportunities to meet other like-minded individuals, share stories and reflections and most importantly to know that you’re not alone.
