Is this course right for me?

Target Audience: Academic Professional staff who feel like a fraud and want to find the community of others who feel as they do. Academic Professional staff who want to grow their self-confidence to make the most of their next career challenge/opportunity.

"You're NOT good enough... 

...those people to whom you compare yourself are every bit as superior as you think they are. 

They know more than you...and they're going to find you OUT!" 

Sound familiar? 

This is how you speak to yourself when you think you're a fraud but all the hard evidence of your success says otherwise. 

This self-doubting, confidence-draining voice in your head is the so-called Imposter Syndrome. 

But you DO know enough... 

...and as part of this community, you will connect with the others who feel as you do. 

You will discover the hidden histories behind the personal and professional origins of the Imposter Syndrome. 

From new research directed by Marc (your host), you will acquire the tools and frameworks to prevent your self-doubt from interfering with your day-to-day life and career. 

This is NOT an Imposter Syndrome course... 

...this is the course that will convince you to ditch the term 'imposter syndrome' forever. 

Recast 'syndrome' as 'phenomenon' and build your path towards teaching others how common the imposter experience actually is. 

Course Outcomes/ Objectives;

• Enhance your awareness of how language impacts the severity of your imposter experiences. 
• Produce your case against the 'imposter' label.
