  • One of the most common questions I get asked about Imposter Syndrome is how you can spot the warning signs. They're masters of disguise.

    So, back in 2018, I used our long-term research studies into Imposter Syndrome to create the 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome model. By looking for differences in these 4 Ps, it helps you to spot the early warning signs of Imposter Syndrome, both in yourself and in others.

    Now taught at universities and cited in PhDs, the 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome is an incredibly useful pre-diagnostic for Imposter Syndrome, used by individuals, coaches and managers worldwide, every single day.

    But there's more! Here's what's waiting for you today:

    The 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome

    What are the 4 Ps of Imposter Syndrome?How can you spot them, in yourself in others?How can you use them to predict your stress response?What's their little-known role in performance, productivity and team dynamics?And what can you do if you realise you're running all 4?

  • If you've hit a wall with DIY Google methods of clearing your Imposter Syndrome and you're ready to hire a professional to help, then this episode is especially for you.

    No, I'm not selling my coaching services (I rarely coach imposter syndrome these days) but I have seen an explosion of coaches claiming to clear imposter syndrome without the proof to back up their claims.

  • Who is really to blame for you experiencing imposter syndrome? This is an important question that I recently answered at a Q&A session. 

    This episode is for everyone who feels like they have tried everything to fix imposter syndrome for themselves or their team and it hasnā€™t worked. It's likely to be because they're only addressing one of the three pillars - I spill the beans on those during the episode.

    71% of your team is experiencing toxic resilience right now and feeling the need to cover up and carry on as though nothing is wrong. This leads to them operating on a fight, flight or freeze response which makes burnout and imposter syndrome so much worse.

    Listen now to discover how the three key pillars of Imposter Syndrome are getting in the way of preventing imposter syndrome, and what you can do about it, even in the next few weeks. Plus, Iā€™ll share how you can become a beacon of hope for others. 

    What youā€™ll discover: 

    Why your habits give you the power to press pause on Imposter Syndrome and turn down the dialHow imposter is context-dependent and removing yourself from the situation can temporarily change how you feel, but doesn't actually fix anythingWhat the Three Pillars of Imposter Syndromeā„¢ are and what you can do about themWhich of these has the biggest impact on your experience imposter syndrome Why you need to be aware of toxic resilience in the workplace and how this is contributing to imposter syndromeHow the office environment and layout might be contributing to imposter syndromeThe real reason you have toxic team members and bossesWhy imposter syndrome is holding back your DE&I initiatives

  • Do you want to offer more than a 'tea and sympathy' approach to your colleagues or clients with imposter syndrome? 

    25% of your team are actively thinking about quitting their job every single week as a result of imposter syndrome. Yet, untrained line managers, HR, and mental health first aiders are at the frontline of trying to fix their colleagues' pain. 

    In this episode, I take you through why tea and sympathy is an essential first step and what needs to come next to start clearing imposter syndrome, which is often caused by complex trauma, rather than a mindset-level issue.

    Listen now to find everything you need to know about how you can help people with imposter syndrome beyond sharing the war wounds of your own experience. 

    What youā€™ll discover: 

    Why tea and sympathy is only a first step and what else you can offer to support your colleagues or clientsThe impacts of normalising imposter syndromeWhy your team are stuck in survival mode, using coping strategies to deal with it and are losing productivity as a resultThe dangers of an untrained person trying to fix the deep causes of imposter syndrome and how this could be making everything worseWhy we shouldnā€™t be using mindset approaches for imposter syndromeWhy you need to fix your own imposter syndrome before you try help othersKey questions to ask when looking for imposter syndrome training (and red flags to watch out for).
