Looking for a speaker on the imposter syndrome?
(it is really imposter phenomenon)
Have you ever wondered when you would be ‘found out’ or felt terrified at making a mistake because it ‘proves’ you are not perfect, and therefore not up to the job, or felt that you simply ‘didn’t belong’ in your role? Or have you spotted very capable staff unwilling to speak up in meetings, take on new tasks or even refuse promotion? This could be the imposter syndrome at work (more accurately termed imposter phenomenon).
You are not alone – as reported in a Harvard Business Review, worrying that they will be found out not to be good enough is the number one fear of CEOs.
Feeling like an imposter causes talent attrition, reduces workplace collaboration and creativity, and is linked to burnout.
You don’t have to suffer in silence.
