Leaping from Impostor Syndrome to More Self-Efficacy




Course Description
At some point, all women have questioned our value. It has been labeled as imposter syndrome, a self-sabotaging condition that can hold us back from reaching our full potential. It was introduced and then renamed imposter phenomenon by psychologists Dr. Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes.

The syndrome (now renamed imposter phenomenon) is distributed across men and women. It is what we tell ourselves just before we leap into something that is beyond our own level of confidence. People who have it believe they are pretending to be something they are not, or that their career is a coincidence and not due to own capabilities.

We struggle because we can have high self-esteem in one area and not others. Women tend to want to be 100% prepared before we stretch a new direction, but our internal conversations sometimes prevent us from stretching beyond our comfort zone.
