About this event
March is the month of exploring the theme of Celebrating Your Speaking Business.
We explore where we can celebrate the people we work with and inspire to go to make impact, wins and success.
In honour of International Women’s Day, we have invited some celebrated female speakers to join us discuss how they stand out in their fields, embrace their successes and grow:
Caroline Cavanagh – Imposter Syndrome: The What’s, Why’s & How’s behind this concept
Imposter syndrome has become a commonly used label to relate to the feeling of being unworthy. But who doesn’t feel unworthy at times? Does this mean we all have this syndrome?
In this talk we explore the facts and fiction behind Imposter Syndrome and understand why it is being perceived as such a negative and debilitating concept.
You will gain new insights that will give you clarity on the feelings behind it and more importantly, understand how you can turn those feelings into a positive energy that can support both personal and business success.
From this talk you will learn:
- How you can use your own mental strength to turn your Imposter into an advocate that will help you to thrive.
- The background behind this syndrome, some simple psychological concepts to build mental strength, and some very practical techniques to take the brakes off and turn the power to growth on.
- How to change feelings of inadequacy and lack of confidence and turn these perceived weaknesses into an opportunity for growth.
We are also delighted to welcome Jackie Handy.
