Imposter Syndrome is the internal barrier; Assertiveness is the external skill set.
Imposter Syndrome in Women Leaders:
From Self-Doubt to Self-Belief.
Understand the behavioural loop that keeps Imposter Syndrome going, and leave with practical, evidence-based tools that change how you show up at work.
It’s not a confidence issue, it’s a behavioural one, which means it can be unlearned.
For Women Who:
Feel like they’re about to be ‘found out’.
Over Prepare, Over Work & Over Explain
Have difficulty accepting praise
What we’ll cover:
Why management roles intensify impostor feelings
- The behavioural loop – why we keep believing ourselves
- How to change the behaviour using evidence based tools
Tool 1: Evidence engineering
Tool 2: Reducing safety behaviours
Tool 3: Credibility Script
A simple one-week practice plan
Assertiveness for Women Leaders:
Boundaries, Clarity, & Calm Authority.
Practical, workplace-specific language and behaviours to speak up, disagree, and set limits without over-apologising, over-explaining, or burning bridges.
Speaking assertively isn’t about being combative, it’s about being clear. We will show you the difference.
For Women Who:
Over Explain, Over Justify, Ask Permission
Avoid disagreement to avoid being ‘bossy’
Agree when they want to disagree.
What we’ll cover:
The “assertiveness triangle”: clarity, respect, boundaries (or similar simple model)
Boundaries in practice: saying no, saying yes with conditions, buying time
Requests that land: asking for support/resources, clarity, timelines
Disagreeing professionally: challenging ideas without attacking people
Handling pushback: broken-record technique, calm repetition, naming tactics (briefly)
Difficult conversations with direct reports/peers/senior stakeholders
Reducing apology/justification habits (behavioural substitution, not shame)

FAQ's
Is this therapy?
No, this is more aligned to coaching. You will be shown why Imposter Syndrome or difficulties with assertiveness develop and given practical tools on managing both that can be implemented immediately.
Will there be a replay?
Live calls will not be available for replay however it’s possible to book employees onto live calls and to have access to pre recorded versions. Please email enquiries@liberationacademy.co.uk for more information
Will I have to speak or role play?
No we deal in empowerment not torture. If you have a question you’ll be invited periodically to use the chat function to ask questions in the live sessions.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes, all attendees get a CPD certificate for each webinar they attend whether live or replay.
What if I'm confident in some areas?
Great! You will be able to reinforce what’s already working, and get new tools to change what isn’t. The webinar will still help regardless.
What if my workplace is very political?
It will be a case of applying skills and tools appropriately, which only you will be able to judge. However the webinars are structured with office politics in mind.
Will this give me negotiation skills?
Not per se, it’s only a 60 minute webinar, but it will start you on the right path to be able to do so. It may be you would benefit from some 121 coaching with Helen, which you can access privately here: Immersion Session
