Say Goodbye to Impostor Syndrome
and watch your team's confidence explode!
Impostor Syndrome expert, keynote speaker and former NASA Engineer Maureen Zappala shows high achievers how to overcome the self-doubt that haunts them.
Did you know that even your most brilliant team members may be
doubting their own brilliance?
Despite their success, they feel unqualified for their job. They look accomplished, but they feel like frauds.
It’s called THE IMPOSTOR SYNDROME.
And it’s the single most significant obstacle preventing your best people from giving their best effort.
Impostor Syndrome leads to poor performance, burnout, employee disengagement and high turnover.
- It keeps bright and capable people afraid of new challenges.
- It suppresses creativity and stifles innovation, leaving critical problems unsolved.
- It clogs communication because people don't speak up.
- It creates a perceived skill gap if qualified people fear taking on new responsibilities.
- It destroys teamwork and collaboration because people think, "I'm the only one who feels like this!"
- At the extreme, it leads to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, isolation, carelessness and apathy.
- It costs an organization time, revenue and opportunity.

Why Maureen?
Keynote Speaker & Author
When the NASA Lewis Research Center hired me as a research engineer for the Propulsion Systems Laboratory, I thought, “They only hired me because they need more women.” I was filled with self-doubt.
The truth was that even though I wasn’t a straight-A student, it made sense for NASA to hire me. My childhood dream was to be an engineer. I had college summer internships at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. I interview well. 🙂
So, I was a great fit for NASA. I just didn’t believe it.
Terrified of failing, I worked harder than I thought possible. I believed if my boss saw my hard work, he wouldn’t notice I didn’t belong.
But with every project and promotion, that same fear snuck in. “I don’t belong here. I’m not as smart as everyone thinks I am.”
Years later I discovered millions suffer from the same self-doubt-fueled fear of Impostor Syndrome. It crushes creativity and stifles the strengths of individuals in organizations everywhere.
I dove into the topic and as a result of my research, my reflections, and my experience, YOU benefit! I show people how Impostor Syndrome affects their lives, and how to escape its grip. I’ll share my insights so you don’t have to suffer with it as long as I did, despite having built a great reputation at NASA.
