DESCRIPTION:Topic: The Imposter Illusion: Rethinking Confidence, Competence, and Performance in LeadershipSpeaker: Dr. Rachel Boehm, Ph.D., Organizational Behavior SpecialistPresentation:Roughly 80% of high-achieving professionals wrestle with imposter thoughts, the persistent belief that their success is undeserved or overblown. Often mislabeled as a “syndrome,” this isn’t a disorder but a cognitive distortion. Basically, your thinking took a wrong turn and now there’s a gap between perception and reality.&nbsp;Left unchecked, imposter thoughts can distort how leaders judge their performance and possibilities, fueling perfectionism, overwork, self-doubt, burnout, or reluctance to seek support. These patterns stall professional and personal growth, and ripple into decision-making, team development, and succession planning.On the other side of the spectrum, overconfidence can be equally distorting, clouding judgment and strategy, and leading to misinformation.&nbsp;This session cuts through the stigma and victimization by reframing imposter syndrome as a thinking trap not a personal flaw. Financial executives will learn practical ways to recognize self-doubt in action, manage it strategically, and use it to make better decisions and drive stronger results.Learning Outcomes:By the end of this session, participants will be able to:Identify and differentiate&nbsp;common imposter “types” and recognize how they impact executive decision-making and team dynamics.Reframe imposter thoughts&nbsp;as cognitive biases rather than personal flaws, using practical, evidence-based techniques to spot their thinking traps.Lead with insight&nbsp;– practical strategies for supporting employees who may experience imposter thoughts or low confidence to strengthen performance and team dynamics.Speaker's Bio:Dr. Rachel is an organizational behavior specialist running a modern change management firm. She helps service-based companies understand the personalities in the room&nbsp;so they can&nbsp;predict and transform behavior in the workplace during times of business transitions (M&amp;A, leadership changes, RIFs, restructuring) or the constant pivots increasingly required throughout the workday (fast paced, high stakes, shifting deadlines and priorities). Dr.&nbsp;Rachel leverages Science-Backed, People-Proven™ strategies to improve&nbsp;the way people naturally respond to change and stress, so people don’t become bottlenecks. As a result, clients enjoy improved morale, engagement, team cohesion, leader-staff dynamics, retention and recruitment, and a culture of sustainable high performance.&nbsp;
