Imposter Syndrome can arise at any point in a professional career, but it’s especially prevalent when entering unfamiliar environments, starting a new job, or receiving recognition. Many professionals experience imposter feelings when tasked with leading a team or stepping into leadership roles, feeling as though they don't deserve their success or that they will be "found out."
At Professional Development Training, this leadership skills training course will help individuals to learn how to deal with imposter feelings and aims to restore self-confidence in their roles.
This management training workshop is dedicated to helping participants understand the triggers and situations that commonly induce imposter feelings and the impact they have on performance and leadership effectiveness.
We will introduce you to a range of techniques and strategies to help tackle imposter syndrome effectively. These include cognitive reframing, which involves identifying and challenging negative thought patterns that fuel self-doubt. We also focus on building self-awareness and recognising personal achievements to shift the focus from perceived shortcomings to real successes. Another key technique is managing self-talk, where participants learn to replace critical inner dialogue with supportive and constructive messages. Finally, the workshop offers practical strategies for setting realistic goals and developing a growth mindset, empowering individuals to embrace challenges and view mistakes as opportunities for learning.
In our leadership skills training course, you can meet like-minded business people in a comfortable environment. Share your thoughts, feelings and concerns with others who can resonate and make you feel as though you aren't alone.
Imposter Syndrome often stems from a range of negative thought patterns. These may include self-critical beliefs such as “I’m not good enough,” “I don’t belong here,” or “I’ve only been lucky.” These thoughts can undermine confidence and hinder the ability to lead effectively. In the workshop, we will explore how these thought patterns form and how they can distort your perception of your capabilities, leading to stress, anxiety, and even burnout.
One of the key components of this course is teaching participants how to manage their inner dialogue. Your inner voice can either be your greatest critic or your biggest supporter. We will help you recognise negative self-talk and replace it with constructive, empowering messages that foster confidence and resilience. By changing the way you speak to yourself, you can significantly improve your mental well-being and professional output.
