Overview:

Impostor Syndrome is the experience that many high-achieving people have of feeling a fraud, of not deserving their success, a fear of being ‘found out’, of not being as competent as other people think they are. It is characterized by chronic self-doubt, feeling phoney, attributing success to luck or other external factors, feeling unable to live up to expectations, etc. This interactive workshop will demonstrate strategies for Coaching clients to overcome Impostor Syndrome and replace it with a solid understanding of their own Self-Worth.

Suitable for:

Trainee and experienced coaches with an interest in adding Coaching to Promote Self-Worth and Overcome Impostor Syndrome to their offering.

Outline Content:

• The crucial difference between Self-Worth and Self-Esteem
• Helping clients to break the habit of constantly Assessing themselves and their Performance
• Moving from Self-Reproach to Self-Acceptance

By the end of the workshop, delegates will:

• Be able to Coach effectively to help clients to overcome Impostor Syndrome and promote Self-Worth
• Have learned about the importance of helping clients to shift from a focus on Proving themselves to a focus on Valuing themselves
• Have practiced Coaching from a position of Unconditional Self-Acceptance
• Understand the ‘Law of Reverse Effect’ (the more we pursue contingent self-esteem, the more elusive it becomes) and the Myth of the ‘Optimized Self’
