Why This Matters

Even the most capable leaders can experience moments of self-doubt, including some of the world’s best. Despite their achievements, they may still question whether they truly deserve their success. Imposter syndrome is common among high performers, particularly those stepping into senior roles or aiming for promotion. It can erode confidence, fuel overthinking, and create an ongoing sense of pressure to prove oneself.

Left unchecked, imposter syndrome holds leaders back from new opportunities, limits their impact, and makes success feel more stressful than rewarding.

A Conversation that Goes Deeper

In this interactive masterclass, Organisational Psychologist Cliff Morgan will be joined by Olympian and entrepreneur Toby Jenkins OLY for an engaging conversation about what it really takes to overcome imposter syndrome.

Drawing on his experience competing at the highest level of sport, Toby shares valuable insights into mindset, performance, and resilience. Together, they will explore how imposter feelings show up in leadership, what drives them, and how to shift from self-doubt to self-belief. Drawing on psychology, performance science, and lived experience, they will share practical strategies to help leaders strengthen their confidence, reframe limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity and conviction.

An Interactive Experience

This masterclass is designed to be a conversation, not a lecture. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions and engage throughout the session.

Cliff and Toby welcome questions from participants both before and during the live masterclass. Whether it is a personal experience of self-doubt, a leadership challenge, or curiosity about performance psychology, each question helps deepen the discussion and foster shared learning.

Bring your questions, experiences, and curiousity – this is your chance to be part of the conversation

What You’ll Walk Away With

Leaders attending the masterclass will walk away with:

• A clear understanding of what imposter syndrome is and why it affects high-performing leaders.
• Evidence-based tools to recognise and reframe unhelpful thoughts before they take hold.
• Practical strategies to lead with greater confidence and authenticity.
• Inspiration from real stories of resilience and self-belief in sport, business, and leadership.

Is This For You?

This masterclass is perfect for leaders who

• Hold senior, management, or emerging executive roles and sometimes question their capability or worth.
• Are preparing for or stepping into new leadership responsibilities and want to do so with confidence.
• Are passionate about their work but find themselves second-guessing their performance.
• Value open, evidence-informed discussions and practical tools they can apply immediately.

This is not for those who

• Are seeking a motivational talk rather than an interactive, reflective conversation.
• Are not ready to explore personal thinking patterns or challenge self-doubt.
• Prefer passive learning instead of active engagement and participation.
