Imposter Syndrome at Work: The Hidden Barrier to Confidence, Leadership, and Performance

Imposter syndrome is more common than many people realize, particularly among high-achieving professionals.

Self-doubt often remains invisible to others while quietly affecting performance, leadership, visibility, and career growth. Despite evidence of competence and achievement, many individuals struggle to internalize success and instead attribute accomplishments to luck, timing, or external factors.

​

Using The Interplay Framework™, participants explore how psychological factors such as self-doubt can influence available capacity and, in turn, workplace performance. 

​

This workshop helps participants understand the psychology of imposter syndrome and develop practical, evidence-based strategies for responding with greater confidence, effectiveness, and sustainable performance.
