Starfish Search and PPMA Webinar: Embrace your Imposter
Friday the 4th of October 2024 at 12pm – Register here
Imposter syndrome comes in many forms – not just self-doubt. Imposter syndrome can affect anyone of any gender, at any age and stage of their careers. It’s also been identified as a key symptom during perimenopause. We’re delighted to announce an exciting and insightful upcoming webinar for the PPMA, looking at the feeling of imposter syndrome when starting a new role.
The session will aim to give you an understanding of your own imposter, what type of imposter you are, and a toolkit to help you love your imposter as a friend not a foe. We will walk you through the realities of imposter syndrome with some real-life case studies and then uncover ways to harness the fear, reframe it and overcome any feelings of being an imposter in the workplace.
- What imposter syndrome is
- How it manifests
- Why we suffer from imposter syndrome
- The five types of imposters
- Imposter syndrome solutions
This interactive session will be led by City CV’s CEO & Founder, Victoria McLean. Passionate about DE&I, Victoria is an international keynote speaker at female-focused events. Her original insights address topics including imposter syndrome, the art of personal branding, the impact of menopause on business success, setting boundaries at work, and staying visible in a hybrid world.
