What is this workshop about?
According to the literature, at least 70% of people have experienced the Impostor Cycle throughout their lives. This is a cognitive pattern present in the world of work, which does not confer a psychopathological condition, but which has real consequences in the short, medium and long term for the psychological and physical well-being of the subjects, as well as hindering their professional progress.
In this workshop, we will discuss what Impostor Syndrome is, including the thoughts and behaviors associated with it, as well as the negative consequences it can have in various contexts.
