A program hosted by:
ACC San DiegoEmbrace Your Competent, Capable Self
As many of you may know, Imposter Syndrome, a feeling of inadequacy that persists despite contrary evidence, can prevent an attorney from practicing competently. It can impact many skills necessary to competent lawyering including decision making, difficult conversations, and professionalism.
And, it can lead either to a failure to be diligent (by procrastinating) or to over preparation and overwork leading to client dissatisfaction and damaging lawyer health and wellbeing. Why do so many attorneys fear being exposed as a fraud? Why the self-doubt and self-devaluation?
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What neuroscience and psychology tell us about the prevalence of “imposter syndrome” and why is it more prevalent in high achievers.
- The costs of imposter syndrome on lawyers and firms and legal departments.
- The relationship between competence and confidence and why are both needed to practice competently.
- Practical strategies can organizations implement and individuals use to break out of “imposter syndrome.”
