Join alumna Caron Bradshaw OBE, Chief Executive of Charity Finance Group, as she offers her insight into how you can recognise and define imposter syndrome, and gives some advice and techniques on how to overcome it.
In this talk, Caron will look at defining imposter syndrome and what it is and what it isn’t. She will also discuss the importance of recognising your strengths and leaning into them, which is known as building an abundance, rather than a deficit mindset.
The talk will also address how you can build confidence when you feel anything but and what you should do when it’s not really imposter syndrome you are suffering but bullying or oppression of some form.
Caron will also answer your questions during the Q&A session following the talk.
