Topic:  Kicking Impostor Syndrome to the Curb

Most of us go through at least one time in our lives when we experience inner doubt and lose confidence, second-guess our success, or deal with unhelpful thoughts that may sound something like:

• - I'm not as smart as people think I am (or I used to be) and pretty soon they're going to figure that out.

• - I better perform at 150% all the time, perfectly, with no mistakes, no matter the cost or I won't be enough.

• - I don't deserve my success, it must have been luck.

Everyone else is a better parent, a better leader, a better spouse, more effective, more? (fill-in-the-blank) and I am an outsider.

BFF will host our special Guest Speaker, Kim Meninger, to discuss this fascinating topic. Kim Meninger is an executive coach, TEDx speaker and host of the Impostor Syndrome Files podcast.
