Why It’s An Essential Topic To Understand
For Change Professionals

Impostor Syndrome (also known as Impostor Phenomenon) refers to people underestimating their capability and feeling like a fraud or not competent enough in a particular environment.

You may not realise you are experiencing it; you may believe that you are the only one feeling the way you do and that not feeling good enough is just something you have to live with. But impostor feelings are common and, when experienced intensely, can lead to detrimental personal and professional outcomes.

Recent research into Impostor Syndrome in management consultants has sought to understand more about the impacts, triggers, coping strategies and how organisations can help their people.

Organisations can exacerbate or mitigate the experience of Impostor Syndrome. By creating a supportive and open environment, organisations can help disrupt the internal negative thought processes of Impostor Syndrome, enabling individuals and their organisations to flourish.

This webinar is a conversation between Helen Brooks of Brooks Coaching, who conducted the research, and Deborah Feakins from Marlowe Consulting who brings her reflections from her years of experience working with senior organisational leaders who lead and deliver transformation programmes of all sizes and complexity.

In this webinar, Helen & Deborah will share the research findings to help raise awareness of the concept and its impacts. Theye discuss practical interventions at the levels of individual engagement, organisational culture and wider organisational support.

While the research focussed on management consultants, the research findings are relevant for those in a variety of professional, internal consulting and delivery-based settings.

Through the webinar individuals will learn about the concept and impacts at a personal level and also how they can better lead and support their teams and clients.

Key takeaways from the session will be:

  • Awareness of Impostor Syndrome and its impacts.
  • Understanding your role in managing impacts on yourself and those around you
  • Understanding of the role of the organisation in supporting people.
  • Considerations for project professionals on engaging with organisational leaders responsible for delivering change
  • Considerations for organisational leaders of change.

How To Tackle The ‘Tough Four’ Emotional States
That Make Effective Change Harder To Achieve

In this webinar we will look into the ‘tough four’ emotional states which can inhibit the progress, pace and success of any change or project.

According to Prosci, at least 80% of project benefits are dependent on people changing their ways of working.

You are invited to join this session in which Rebecca Collings (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the ‘tough four’ within the context of a project environment.

By understanding what drives them, how to spot them and how you can mitigate or manage them, project managers and change leaders will be better placed to face the ‘tough four’ down.

Resistance to change is often deeply rooted in people’s natural behaviour and mindset – understanding this is critical to leading people through change successfully.

This session is aimed at an audience seeking to learn more about how to manage change and to discuss the practical ways in which we can overcome resistance.

Many organizations have put major focus on EDI, and for good reasons. Organizations thrive when they consist of people from different races, genders, ages, behavioral, and thinking styles.

A global leadership study found that organizations with above-average diversity are eight times more likely to be in the top 10 percent for financial performance in that business category.

To help adapt more inclusive cultures, organizations have turned to training programs as part of the process.

However, a comprehensive meta-analysis has found that most EDI training programs do not meet their goals, mostly because participants resent being told that they are biased, and they resist being asked to adopt new attitudes.

The good news is that this same research found that certain types of training are more effective for meeting organizations’ EDI goals: programs that teach interpersonal skills.

In addition to focusing on EDI as the main topic, organizations may be better served by training on skills that help all employees thrive, such as communication, emotional intelligence, resilience, and innovativeness.

These programs should be explicitly tied to the organizations’ EDI values and goals. When the focus is placed on developing skills that help teams succeed, those teams will work more effectively and will recognize the value of different perspectives and ideas.

Modern research has discovered unique “cognitive biases” that affect people’s abilities to work effectively, and there are specific biases that affect people’s ability to communicate, show empathy, be resilient, and be innovative.

These biases are different from implicit bias, which has been the main thrust of typical EDI training.

During this webinar explore:

  • What causes EDI training to fall short of intended goals
  • How focusing on important interpersonal skills can help meet goals more effectively
  • Soft skills that are related to personal and organizational effectiveness
  • Cognitive biases that impact personal learning and how to overcome those biases
