"All over the globe, there are people who know they can be better"

They know that they have more to offer and can find greater levels of professional and life satisfaction.

If only they could let go of the fear.
Fear of failure.
Fear of success.
Fear of being found out as a fake.

As a coach, identifying impostor feelings in others brings greater insight into the experience of clients/colleagues and, in turn, improves individual relationships, professional experiences and leverages professional development/advancement opportunities.

As a coach, discovering your client’s prevailing underpinning ‘stories’ is key.

Coach Braver Stronger Smarter unlocks insight and enables a more rich and successful coaching programme.

What is the Impostor Phenomenon?

The impostor phenomenon has been researched for over forty years and still, people struggle with it everyday.

An illogical, but very real, feeling of being an impostor is preventing the advancement of highly skilled leaders and diverse leadership teams.

Current research also shows that organisations are failing to capitalise on much needed talent to flourish in a highly complex, disrupted environment.



Who should attend?

Professional coaches, leaders and managers, people with mentoring or supervisory responsibilities with a passion for supporting their clients or colleagues to achieve their goals and realise their latent potential.

What will you learn?

The programme is designed to help coaches recognise and diminish a client’s impostor experiences and beliefs.

Drawing on over forty years of robust empirical research and Dr Terri Simpkin’s current global research into the impostor phenomenon, the workshop harnesses your own experiences and practices as a coach.

The programme aims to deliver insights about the thoughts and behaviour of clients through an understanding of their ‘source stories’ and social learning.

A day of collaborative insight will identify how you can make a contribution to the way others approach their place in a complex world and how their true capabilities can be revealed for greater personal and professional satisfaction.
