Study Plus Inclusive Careers: Imposter Syndrome by Sal Pearman, 12:30-15:00, Online
As much as we want to stay optimistic, focussed, and productive, it can be very easy to slip into negative patterns of thinking. To ask, “Am I good enough?”, “Can I do this?”, “Am I a fake?”. With the huge impact of a more digital and global community it’s easy to feel less capable, less confident, and perhaps less worthy than our peers.
This half-day workshop will demystify the truth behind Imposter Syndrome and will provide practical tools and techniques to accurately understand, communicate and celebrate our abilities.
Over the half-day workshop, we will cover:
· What is Imposter Syndrome (is it a real thing?)
· How we might experience Imposter Syndrome and how it can impact us
· How to accurately label our skills and experiences
· Challenging negative self-talk and self-doubt
· Mental reprogramming: thinking differently and thinking positively
