Course Description:

Have you ever felt unqualified for your job title or worried that your colleagues will find out you’re not so smart after all? Do you discount your successes or attribute accomplishments to luck? If these habits are familiar to you, you may be experiencing the impostor phenomenon, a behavior often observed in high-achieving healthcare students and professionals.

This webinar is designed for you! The information provided will enable you to name your experience and recognize you are not alone, and empower you to engage in strategies to reduce impostor attributes. You will learn common imposter misperceptions and factors that give rise to impostor thoughts and feelings. You will gauge your imposter tendencies by completing a simple impostor phenomenon assessment tool and gain insight into how impostor misperceptions can impact your career. Eight practical strategies are offered that empower you to acknowledge your accomplishments, curtail imposter thinking habits, reduce self-doubt, accept that no one is perfect, and adopt a realistic attitude toward your professional competencies.

Combining lecture and experiential exercises, this webinar is applicable to healthcare professionals, including physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, registered nurses, and athletic trainers who want to say goodbye to feeling like an impostor.
