About This Event
Move Beyond the Imposter Complex
Instructor: Samantha Maldonado, Consulting Partner + Principal @ Pinpoint Solutions
Do you find yourself struggling to recognize the legitimacy of your accomplishments or feel you'll be "found out"? Do you worry that you'll be seen as a fraud? If you feel you connect with these questions, you may be experiencing a phenomenon known as the Imposter Complex.
The Imposter Complex is “A psychological phenomenon in which people are unable to internalize their accomplishments," it is the feeling that you don't belong where you are, and you only got there through luck. Individuals experiencing "impostorism" believe others have inflated perceptions of their abilities and fear being evaluated. It affects people across age and industry, with nearly 70% of high performing professionals experiencing "impostorism" at least once in their lifetime. Those dealing with impostor tendencies put a considerable amount of pressure on themselves to maintain the façade and as such are known to exhibit high levels of perfectionism and workaholic behaviors. The complex can impact mental health, personality, hamper ambition, hurt productivity and develop into a host of other self-sabotaging behaviors.
Join instructor Samantha Maldonado of Pinpoint Solution to understand what Imposter Complex is, why it happens, how we can overcome it and help others through it. She’ll highlight tools and methods to silence self-doubt, and help people perform at highest levels with confidence.
