With trainer Dr Steven Maxwell.
Imposter Syndrome is a pervasive psychological phenomenon characterised by persistent self-doubt and a fear of being exposed as a fraud, despite evident achievements. It is especially prevalent among early career professionals, who often feel inadequate or undeserving of their success. The impact of Imposter Syndrome can be profound, leading to increased stress, decreased job satisfaction, and hindered career progression. Overcoming these feelings is crucial for personal and professional development, as it allows individuals to fully recognise and harness their potential.
This session aims to provide an understanding of Imposter Syndrome, starting with its definition and exploring the psychological mechanisms that contribute to its development and persistence. Participants will learn how to identify their own triggers and symptoms, fostering greater self-awareness. The session will also offer practical strategies and resources for managing and overcoming these negative self-perceptions, with the ultimate goal of building resilience and promoting ongoing personal and professional growth. Through this focused 90-minute session, attendees will be equipped with insights and tools necessary to navigate and mitigate the effects of Imposter Syndrome in their careers.
Learning Outcomes:
- Define Imposter Syndrome and its impact on early career professionals, recognising its prevalence and impacts
- Explore the psychological mechanisms underlying Imposter Syndrome, providing insights into its origins and perpetuation
- Identify personal triggers and symptoms of Imposter Syndrome, fostering self-awareness and enabling proactive management
- Introduce techniques and resources for ongoing support that challenge negative self-perceptions and cultivate resilience
