The Truth About Impostor Syndrome: An Evidence-Based Solution for Coaches
This webinar is approved for 1 CC and 1 RD CCEU's
Up to 82% of people — CEOs and entry-level professionals, first year college students and PhDs, artists and programmers — secretly worry they’re not as smart or talented or qualified as other people “think” they are. It’s called impostor syndrome. Left unchecked, it can lead to costly consequences not only for individuals but for their organizations as well. This multifaceted topic has been oversimplified — yet demands a nuanced solution from those we turn to most often: coaches.
In this presentation, you will learn:
⭐Understand what impostor syndrome is — and what it is not
⭐How impostor syndrome is easily confused with low self-esteem, self-doubt, or other factors that hold clients back
⭐How to identify impostor syndrome in your clients
⭐The costs and consequences of impostor syndrome
⭐The mistakes coaches make that actually harm instead of help your clients progress — and what to do instead
