Speakers:
Sue Belton | Coach & Author
Beat Imposter Syndrome – and find out why so many of us have it!
​
In this wellbeing workshop with Sue Belton you will discover why you’re not alone in often feeling like a fake or a fraud, why you never feel like you ever get ‘there’ or feel ‘good enough’ for the task in hand (despite evidence to the contrary), and why you brush aside any achievements, and any praise that comes your way.
You will learn the root causes and sources of these feelings and beliefs, and be given a set of tools and techniques to start overcoming what is widely known as Imposter Syndrome (although it’s not actually a syndrome – more on this on the night ).
