Stop Shrinking: Breaking Free from Imposter Syndrome

Have you ever found yourself in a room you worked incredibly hard to get into… and suddenly felt like you don’t belong there?

You know you’re capable. You’ve done the work & earned the role… You’ve achieved things you once thought were out of reach.

Yet that quiet voice still shows up:

“What if they realise I don’t actually know what I’m doing?”
“What if I’m not as good as they think I am?”
“Maybe I should just stay quiet.”

So you hold back. You over-prepare, second-guess yourself and shrink in the very spaces you worked hard to enter. Imposter syndrome has a way of convincing you that your success is luck – and that sooner or later you’ll be “found out.”

But the truth is, many high performers experience this precisely because they are growing into bigger spaces.

At its core, imposter syndrome is often an identity crisis. Your achievements have expanded, but your internal identity hasn’t caught up yet. The way you see yourself still belongs to an earlier version of you.

In this workshop, we’ll explore this through the lens of identity economics – the idea that how you see yourself strongly shapes the decisions you make, the risks you take, and the opportunities you allow yourself to step into.

Dr Jeanne Fredericks knows this journey firsthand.

Through years of working through her own imposter syndrome, she learned how to recognise the patterns of self-doubt, challenge them, and grow into the spaces she once felt unsure about – eventually building a career as a Business Owner, Social Scientist, and sought-after public speaker.

She has since helped many others do the same through personal coaching, supporting professionals as they grow into new roles, build confidence, and develop a genuine sense of belonging.

In this workshop, you will explore how to:

• Separate fear from facts when self-doubt appears
• Navigate visibility without shrinking
• Stop perfectionism from holding you back
• Rebuild self-trust using evidence from your own achievements

This session isn’t about pretending self-doubt never appears. It’s about learning how to respond to it in a way that allows you to grow rather than retreat.

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking: “One day they’ll realise I’m not as capable as they think.”

Then this workshop will help you reframe that story and step more confidently into the spaces you’ve already earned. Because you didn’t arrive there by accident.

You belong there.

This session is an investment in becoming the most secure version of yourself.
