Impostor Syndrome takes you on a deceptive journey, constantly threatening to unveil you as a fraud despite your achievements. But your brain is bending the truth, and steering you off course. This session can re-launch your perspective as you navigate through the mental fog with clear strategies to alter your course and elevate your professional confidence.

You’ll explore the foundational pillars of confidence, reshaping your thoughts and actions. You’ll start to embrace your own accomplishments and lead with the boldness your career truly merits. Leave burnout and frustration behind. Navigate beyond Impostor Syndrome, and step into a realm where your confidence matches your competence, and unleash your influence…one genuine success at a time.

Attendees will:

• Understand what Impostor Syndrome is, and isn’t.
• Learn three steps to turn their thoughts from pitiful to powerful.
• Eliminate the “compare & despair” trap when around their peers.
• Match their confidence to their competence and unleash their influence.

Your top performers, the ones you count on every day, may be wrestling with a challenge you might not see coming. Despite having access to unparalleled training and resources, a persistent shadow of doubt undermines their achievements. On the surface, they exude confidence and competence, but internally, they’re questioning their own abilities.

This hidden dilemma is the Impostor Syndrome. It’s a pervasive feeling of self-doubt that affects even the most seemingly confident and capable members of your team, prompting them to second-guess their skills and contributions. The impact is significant, leading to procrastination, a reluctance to fully engage, and even the phenomenon of “quiet quitting.”

This session is based on Maureen’s recently released book, “Get Your Best People to Give Their Best Effort.” It’s not rah-rah motivation, but a tool to create a strategic and disciplined shift in thinking. Attendees will explore a comprehensive approach designed to empower them to effectively guide their teams through the maze of impostor syndrome. This framework isn’t just about boosting confidence; it’s about transforming your organizational culture. It promises to unlock higher levels of productivity, foster innovation, and enhance collaboration.

With these tools, you can cultivate an environment where every member of your team feels valued, confident, and fully engaged in their work. Explore how to make this a reality, shaping a future where your team doesn’t just perform — they excel, free from the chains of self-doubt.

In this session, attendees will:

• Recognize what Impostor Syndrome is, and isn’t, and how it’s affecting your organization.
• Rethink the thoughts that got you and your team there.
• Revise how to move your teams forward through impostor syndrome to create a more robust, resilient and profitable organization When  confidence matches competence, it unleashes powerful influence!
