How to deal with imposter syndrome - A Workshop for Startup Operators & Founders

​How to deal with imposter syndrome in a business context

​You're the one who makes things happen.

​You run the hiring plan, the ops fires, the launch that's due Friday and whatever landed on your desk this morning. You're trusted with a lot. And somewhere in the back of your head a voice asks: "When will they find out I'm just winging it?"

​You're not alone with that. Research finds imposter feelings across industries and career stages, and almost nobody talks about them. For many start-up operators it's one of the quietest pressures in the job.

​You're more competent than your inner critic believes. This interactive workshop looks at where self-doubt stems from, helps you separate it from who you are and reconnects you with the strengths and skills that were there all along.

​🧭 What to expect: ✅ A science-backed look at where self-doubt comes from and how it keeps itself alive ✅ Two hands-on exercises with a partner instead of a lecture ✅ Honest conversation with other operators who know exactly what you're dealing with ✅ A confidential room: what's shared here stays here

​💥 What you'll take away:

• ​A clearer picture of what your self-worth rests on, and which part is thin right now

• ​Research-backed tools you can use the next morning, like logging proof of your own part in a success

• ​A concrete if-then plan for the next four weeks

• ​A network of peers who get the role
