Impostor Syndrome (also known as Impostor Phenomenon) refers to feelings of being a fraud and underestimating capability despite contrary evidence. While many of us experience it at some point in our professional lives, when experienced at a high level, it can lead to detrimental personal and professional outcomes.

Recent research into Impostor Syndrome in management consultants has sought to understand more about the impacts, triggers, coping strategies and how organisations can help their people.

Organisations can exacerbate or mitigate the experience of Impostor Syndrome. By creating a supportive and open environment, organisations can help disrupt internal negative impostor thought processes, enabling individuals and their organisations to flourish. By being aware of these factors, coaches can better support individuals to manage impostor thoughts and bring about wider systemic change in the organisations in which their clients operate.

The webinar will be delivered by Helen Brooks of Brooks Coaching, who conducted the research.

In this webinar you will learn:

  • Awareness of Impostor Syndrome and its impacts.
  • Understanding of triggers, coping strategies and how organisations can help or hinder individuals’ experience of impostor thoughts.
  • Building insights to help manage personal experience and/ or support coaching clients with their lived experience.
