Overcome Impostor Syndrome.
Keynote Speaker and former NASA Engineer shows leaders and high achievers how to overcome the self-doubt that haunts them.
What happens when brilliant team members believe they're not as smart as people think they are?
Despite a long list of accomplishments and accolades, you may feel unqualified for your job, and afraid you’ll be discovered as a FAKE. Even the smartest and most accomplished people experience this unique form of self-doubt. It’s called THE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME.
It’s the single most significant obstacle preventing great people from being great leaders.
The Impostor Syndrome PROBLEM
- It can cost a company time, revenue and opportunities.
- It suppresses creativity and stifles innovation.
- It keeps bright and capable people afraid of taking risks or new challenges.
- It leads to poor performance, employee disengagement, and high turnover.
- It creates a perceived "skill gap" if qualified people don't step into new challenges.
When top performers and leaders are free from impostor syndrome
they align their CONFIDENCE to their COMPETENCE, and they will:
- Take calculated risks and accept new challenges.
- Build the foundation of high performing teams that get things done.
- Be wellsprings of creativity and innovation.
- Have significantly more influence on the organization, and be excited to continue contributing.
- Improve their overall wellbeing, and truly enjoy the career they deserve.

About Maureen
Keynote Speaker, Author, Chief Impostor Buster
When I was hired at the NASA Lewis Research Center as a research engineer in the Propulsion Systems Lab, I thought, “They only hired me because they need more women.”
I wasn’t a straight-A student, so I didn’t think it was my transcript that opened the door. Terrified of failing, I worked harder than I thought possible. I believed if people saw my hard work, they wouldn’t notice I didn’t belong.
But with every promotion that same fear snuck in. “I don’t belong here. I’m not as smart as everyone thinks I am.”
Only years later did I discover that millions of people suffer this same, self-doubt-fueled fear. It’s called Impostor Syndrome and it is killing creativity and stifling opportunities for individuals and organizations everywhere.
