Imposter Syndrome – Cambridge Graduate Union

It was a pleasure to be your speaker at the Cambridge Graduate Union and I hope that you enjoyed my talk. The key now is to remember to implement the ideas and actions that you took away.

If there are any issues or questions which the talk prompted that you didn't get answered on the night feel free to contact me at kate@kateatkin.com or 07779 646976.

On this webpage you will find some extra information based on my own research and that of other experts and other useful information relating to the Imposter Syndrome (truly a Phenomenon!).

We are still at an early stage in understanding the impact of the Imposter Phenomenon, my interest is in understanding the most effective ways of managing those imposter feelings and passing on this information to others. As I mentioned, I am now 18 months into my PhD research on this topic, so still early days. If you are interested in keeping up to date with my research findings and musings, do sign up to receive my newsletter.
