Authentic Confidence: The Healthy Way Out of Imposter Syndrome
Oct 22nd 12pm PT
Presley Pizzo, Productivity Coach, Parts with Presley
Do you have trouble believing compliments about your work? Shy away from applying to promotions? Avoid sharing your boldest ideas or taking the most impactful projects?
Your high standards may be undermining your confidence, trapping you in an Imposter Syndrome mindset. But you don’t have to choose between being underconfident and being overconfident, and you don’t have to “fake it till you make it.” You can discover your Authentic Confidence, and feel good in your role.
In this one-hour online workshop, you’ll learn:
Why the most common advice for overcoming Imposter Syndrome isn’t that helpful
How to stop holding yourself to impossible standards so you can see how well you’re actually doing, and
How to discover your Authentic Confidence so that you don’t keep feeling like an imposter even when you know better.
Presley Pizzo is a software developer turned Productivity Coach at Parts with Presley. After struggling with Imposter Syndrome as a woman in academia and then in tech, she was drawn to become a coach to help people develop the confidence needed to fully show up in their careers.
