A Different Take on the Topic
Slay the Silent Giant – Impostor Syndrome
Are there high achievers in the organization who struggle to internalize, own, and accept their leadership impact and personal success? Then, impostor syndrome could be a saboteur. Let’s slay the giant together.
Why It Matters
Impostor Syndrome is a confidence-stealing giant that shows up even in the most capable women—especially those navigating demanding workplaces, rapid advancement, or environments where they are “the only.” This keynote cuts straight to the heart of the experience: the doubt, the internal narratives, the microaggressions that quietly erode confidence, and the pressure to be perfect.
With honesty and strategic insight, this talk gives women leaders the clarity and tools needed to recognize what’s fueling impostor thoughts, reframe the stories holding them back, and rise with grounded confidence.
The Takeaway
Lillian offers a path of self-reflection and discovery to help develop and sustain self-managing behaviors.
- Identify warning signs of impostor syndrome and understand triggers.
- Interrupt self-sabotaging patterns.
- Apply a self-leadership framework.
- Strengthen resilience in challenging situations and environments.
- Adopt confidence-building habits.
