Universities and research institutes are full of highly intelligent, competent people doing amazing work. Yet, how can it be that so many clever, competent and capable people can feel that they are just one step away from being exposed as a complete fraud? Despite evidence that they are performing well they can still have that lurking fear that at any moment someone is going to tap them on the shoulder and say "We need to have a chat".
During this thought-provoking webinar, internationally renowned thought-leader Hugh Kearns, will dive into the science behind why imposter syndrome is so common in academia and research, and share practical, evidence-based strategies you can apply to reduce those feelings of self-doubt and feeling like an imposter.
Hugh will explain how high performing people, like yourself, often doubt their abilities and find it hard to enjoy their successes and achievements.
