SUMMARY:Taming your imposter: supporting female leaders in developing greater self-acceptance
DESCRIPTION:The University of Essex presents a group coaching course where participants will work with a coach to face their imposter\, gain self-awareness around their identity\, develop greater self-acceptance\, and take positive actions for long-lasting change. \nDo you doubt your skills and competence? Maybe you have an intense fear of failure? Are you low on self-confidence? Do you set yourself impossibly high standards beyond reach? Or perhaps you credit your success to external factors\, such as luck? Has this impacted your leadership and how you interact with your team? \nEveryone experiences impostor syndrome slightly differently\, but if you have answered ‘yes’ to one or more of those questions\, then come and explore how you can start to take some positive steps to free yourself from your imposter and develop a plan of action to live the life you deserve. \nThis course will take place in a group\, online live for 3-hours from 9am to 12pm (UK time) on 3 March 2025. \nThe fee for this course is £210.
