Imposter Syndrome in the Workplace

Overview 

Impostor syndrome is doubting our talents, knowledge or skills, despite often being qualified and experienced professionals. This can prevent us from achieving our full potential and from thinking, feeling and being our best in the workplace. This course aims to tackle this growing issue and promote a positive wellbeing culture in the workplace. It is suitable for staff at all levels.
