You'll learn: What the research really says about imposterism (spoiler alert - YOU are not the problem. Environments are!) How to turn your Imposter Monster from a whisper that makes you feel small to a champion who helps you do hard things This presentation is for anyone who has felt like a phoney, like they're about to be "found out" or like they aren't good enough to be where they are.
