SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Imposterism
DESCRIPTION:In 1978\,  psychologists Pauline Rose Clance and Suzanne Imes wrote for the first time about the Impostor Phenomenon. They had both experienced it\, the feeling that their success was due to luck\, or some mysterious coincidence\, rather than their own hard work\, intelligence and talent. Despite all external evidence to support the idea that their success was the result of ability and competence\, they just didn’t feel that it was deserved. If this all sounds familiar\, welcome to the Imposters Club.  \n\n\n\nIt seems that nobody is actually deserving of their success. Somehow we’ve accomplished what we have through a combination of good fortune\, the hand of fate\, timing\, and an excellent ability to fool the whole world. Designed to tackle the creative mind’s nemesis\, imposter syndrome\, this engaging session will provide practical hints and tips to overcome self-doubt. Discover how to unlock your true potential\, embrace confidence\, and silence that inner critic! \n\n\n\nWhat’s Included?A 60 min panel webinar with our creative industries experts\, plus lifetime access to additional resources and/or a special Dropbox folder containing more resources to support your learning. \n\n\n\nWho should sign up?Creative industries professionals and business people from start-up to established (Australia only\, sorry!). We also welcome creative freelancers\, soloists\, students\, start-ups and curious hobbyists. \n\n\n\nWho’s the host? Monica Davidson\, director and doyenne of Creative Plus Business\, an occasional sufferer of imposter syndrome\, and Shredded Wheat connoisseur.  \n\n\n\nWhat’s Creative Plus Business?We’re a social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way\, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice.
