Welcome to the Women & Power, Money & Growth Workshop Series!
We are starting this workshop series by exploring how to overcome Imposter Syndrome.
Beth Caldwell, author of Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, will be leading this thought-provoking workshop. She is known for giving women practical, relatable advice to achieve success in life and business. You may recognize Beth from one of her other popular self-help books or from her edgy leadership columns in the American City Business Journals, ThriveGlobal, or Smart Business Magazine.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from Beth as we delve into practical solutions for imposter syndrome—a common barrier among women shaped by deep-seated societal stereotypes.
During this workshop you’ll learn to:
Recognize and rewire imposter syndrome
Change the habits and thoughts that cause these sabotaging habits
Teach other women to do the same.
What is Imposter Syndrome?
Imposter Syndrome affects many girls and women because of the negative messages they hear from society starting in childhood. These messages include:
- Boys are good at math, girls are better at reading and crafts.
- Being pretty is more important than being smart.
- Being different is dangerous.
- People prefer girls who are quiet, helpful, thin, etc.
- Women should be caregivers.
- Girls are too emotional to be leaders.
- Let someone smarter or stronger do that for you.
Even though we know these messages aren't true, they stick with us and often show up later in life. When they do, women tend to stay quiet, avoid conflict and attention.
They don’t ask for promotions, nor expect a raise. They put the needs of others first, even at the expense of their own health. They keep their dreams hidden and often feel silly about wanting more.
By avoiding to being different, they stay in unhappy jobs and relationships and settle for less. It's crucial to challenge and change these ingrained habits.
Recognizing and addressing the impact of these societal messages is the first step toward empowering women to believe in their capabilities and to pursue their true aspirations without doubt or restraint.
It's time we discard these outdated notions and foster an environment where all individuals feel valued and capable, regardless of gender.
Let's put these old habits to bed—don't you agree?
The Overcoming Imposter Syndrome workshop offers practical tools to dismantle these internalized beliefs and build a foundation for confidence and assertiveness.
Get ready—this event is set to be truly transformative. Please invite your friends, colleagues, clients, and any young woman you care about.
