SUMMARY:Workshop: Imposter phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:Recent research shows that 80% of professionals will experience ‘imposter phenomenon’\, often referred to as ‘imposter syndrome’\, at some point in their careers. Whilst it is prevalent\, this doesn’t stop it from being debilitating and disempowering as it can be associated with decreased job performance or burnout (Bravata et al 2020). \nThis workshop explores practical tips for managing imposter phenomenon\, from both an individual and systemic lens. \nIn this 3-hour virtual workshop you will: \n\nappreciate the often systemic nature of imposter phenomenon by understanding what in the system or culture is (possibly inadvertently) causing you to feel like an imposter. Which elements of this can you choose to minimise\, challenge or reframe?\nclarify your typical trigger situations\, trying out practical tools to help you challenge your negative self-talk and bring your strengths to bear in these situations\nengage in peer coaching with other delegates using solution-focused questions\, giving you the opportunity to form supportive networks and cultivate a new mindset around imposter phenomenon

SUMMARY:Workshop: Public speaking and presenting
DESCRIPTION:It is not unusual to have a fear of public speaking\, ‘glossophobia’\, but we don’t need to become a whole new person to excel at presenting. Instead\, we can change our approach so that we harness our strengths\, dial up our own authentic energy\, craft an engaging message – and deliver it with tailored stories and varied interaction on the day. \nWhether inspiring your department to work in a new way\, delivering a tough message to your wider team\, or running a Zoom session as part of a virtual conference\, at the heart of all these tasks is the need to successfully engage our audiences. Presenting and public speaking is an art that anyone can learn and master – from introverts\, to planners\, to those that thrive in the moment. \nDuring this workshop participants will: \n\n\nreflect on the personal strengths they can bring to presenting and public speaking \n\n\npractice ‘dialling up’ their authentic energy so as to increase their presence \n\n\ncraft the start of an upcoming message they have to deliver\, including relevant stories to engage audiences’ hearts as well as minds \n\n\nplan how to build in relevant interaction to make their delivery as engaging as possible \n\n\nlearn different strategies for dealing with whatever questions are thrown at them
