Trust Yourself: Closing the Confidence Gap Leads to Higher-Performance Teams
If you have ever felt inadequate or been plagued by self-doubt at work, you are far from alone. Seventy percent of us experience “imposter syndrome.” It’s a phenomenon that holds back a growing number of high-achievers and is not only crushing the confidence of individuals but hurting the performance potential of teams. Meggie Palmer is a confidence creator and an expert on imposter syndrome and how to fix it. “When people hold back and don’t put their best selves forward - whether in internal meetings or high-stakes negotiations - it affects more than your personal psyche,” argues Palmer. “It compromises trust.” And trust, especially in today’s economy, impacts everything: revenue, brand reputation, team performance, authentic leadership, diversity of talent and more. In this presentation, Palmer presents her framework for avoiding and overcoming imposter syndrome and shares actionable advice for elevating team performance and building trust. Drawing from real-world examples, she proves how closing the confidence gap leads to improved negotiation skills and retains diverse, high-potential talent.
