Overview

The University of Essex presents a practical, skills-based group coaching course where participants will work with a coach to confront their imposter, gain self-awareness about their identity, develop greater self-acceptance and take positive actions for lasting change.

Do you doubt your skills and competence? Maybe you have an intense fear of failure? Are you low on self-confidence? Do you set yourself impossibly high standards beyond reach? Or perhaps you credit your success to external factors, such as luck? Has this impacted your leadership and how you interact with your team?

Everyone experiences impostor syndrome slightly differently, but if you have answered ‘yes’ to one or more of those questions, then come and explore how you can start to take some positive steps to free yourself from your imposter and develop a plan of action to live the life you deserve.

Through reflective exercises, we will explore leadership and what might be holding us back. We will explore how we can develop truly authentic leadership and become the leaders we aspire to be. You will develop tools to free yourself from imposter syndrome and lead from the heart, not just the head. We will also look at what our new-found superpowers might mean for the teams we lead.

This course takes a group coaching approach, offering lots of opportunities for self-reflection and deep thinking while providing practical strategies to move forward. You will leave with a clear plan of action to take your next steps with confidence.

This course will take place in a group, online live for 3-hours from 9am to 12pm (UK time) on 3 March 2025.

The fee for this course is £210.
