Even the most accomplished leaders experience imposter feelings - that quiet sense of doubt that can surface with success, increased visibility, or transitions into new roles such as board positions. Far from being a sign of weakness, imposter syndrome often stems from high standards, ambition, and a deep sense of responsibility. It can affect anyone, regardless of experience or seniority, and often intensifies during periods of change or personal transition.

Join Victoria McLean, CEO and Founder of City CV, for a thought-provoking and interactive session exploring how to recognise, understand, and harness imposter feelings as a source of strength. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and years of leadership coaching, Victoria will share practical tools to help you reframe self-doubt, enhance presence, and lead with authenticity and impact.

This 60-minute live session will explore:

• The psychology and science behind imposter syndrome
• How it manifests at the senior and board level
• The five types of imposters, and how they influence leadership behaviour
• Strategies to reframe fear, reclaim confidence, and lead with presence
• Practical solutions to thrive under pressure and embrace visibility

This event will be held under Chatham House Rule and will not be recorded, creating a safe and open space for honest discussion and shared experiences. Participants will be encouraged to engage actively through the chat and Q&A.
