Psychologists first identified and used the term “imposter syndrome” in 1978. Recent studies indicate over 80% of adults suffer some level of imposter syndrome, and it's especially prevalent among high-achieving people. Many people experience symptoms for a limited time, such as in the first few weeks of a new job. For others, the experience can be lifelong.
OWN YOUR GREATNESS: Overcome Imposter Syndrome, Beat Self-Doubt, and Succeed in Life by Doctors Lisa and Richard Orbé-Austin is a short (135 pages) interactive workbook, packed with research- and therapy-backed exercises, prompts, and activities. The authors begin with an overview and assessment of imposter syndrome along with how to identify the origins of it for individuals. They outline the "3 C's strategy” to overcome these destructive feelings. Join us to discuss the key themes and perhaps share a favorite exercise from the book (or share effective approaches and techniques you use with students and clients).
