From Self-Doubt to Confidence

-

Presented by Carolien Moors
Wednesday, December 10 |
noon–1 p.m.

Have you ever doubted your abilities or feared being exposed as a fraud despite clear success? These feelings, commonly called impostor syndrome (or impostor phenomenon, as recognized by The American Psychological Association), affect people across job roles, genders, and social status. While some experience brief self-doubt during transitions, for others it can erode confidence, energy, resilience, and effectiveness over long periods of time. You may occasionally experience symptoms such as perfectionism or fear of failure without long-term impact, while others may be more seriously compromised in their career growth and leadership potential.

The good news: there are proven ways to minimize these thoughts and build authentic confidence. This webinar will help you:

  • recognize symptoms and risk factors associated with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, and related challenges.
  • manage doubt constructively and attribute success and failure in healthy ways.
  • clarify and manage expectations with self and others to strengthen confidence, well-being, and workplace performance.
