Decoding Imposter Syndrome: What It Is, What It Isn't, and How to Stop Letting It Hold You Back
Erris Klapper helps accomplished women understand imposter syndrome, challenge harmful myths, and build confidence with practical strategies in this Influential Women Masterclass webinar.
Why this class exists.
If you've ever felt like a fraud despite clear evidence of your competence, you're not alone. But here's what most women don't realize: much of what we believe about imposter syndrome is actually a myth—and those myths might be making it worse.
Many accomplished women are held back not by imposter syndrome itself, but by their misunderstanding of it. They blame themselves for normal self-doubt. They think they're broken when they're actually experiencing something universal. They implement strategies that backfire because they're based on false assumptions about what imposter syndrome really is.
This masterclass cuts through the noise and teaches you the truth: what imposter syndrome actually is, what it definitely is NOT, how to recognize the myths that are keeping you stuck, and most importantly—how to address it strategically so it stops sabotaging your career and confidence.
In this session, you'll discover:
- What imposter syndrome actually is — the real psychology behind self-doubt, perfectionism, and the fear of being "found out"
- What imposter syndrome is NOT — debunking the myths that keep women trapped in cycles of self-criticism
- How to decode the myths that disguise themselves as truth (and cost you real opportunities and peace of mind)
- The actual impact of imposter syndrome — on your career, your relationships, your health, and your potential
- Practical mitigation strategies — evidence-based approaches to address self-doubt without gaslighting yourself or pushing through toxic positivity
