The Own Your Greatness Masterclass: Feel Empowered In Your Life And Career
CLARIFY
We’ll help you CLARIFY the central reasons why the imposter complex develops so you can examine those things more critically. You won’t just learn about common causes, either. Through our interactive approach, you’ll learn to evaluate your imposter origin story, acknowledge impostor syndrome symptoms, recognize triggers and trap doors, and change your narrative to support your ongoing success & well-being.
CHOOSE
Owning your success and accomplishments starts when you CHOOSE to speak your truth. We’ll help you identify automatic negative thoughts (ANTs) that increase your fraud complex feelings of fraudulence so you can proactively deal with them instead of running yourself to the ground trying to cover them up. You will learn how to prioritize self-care, in order to create a compassionate, supportive routine that helps you value and care for yourself.
CREATE
To CREATE change, you must take an assertive role in your self-growth. We’ll help you form a real, holistic picture of all the different factors that are holding you back and what you can do to tackle them. It’s not just about discussing the change you want to see, but learning how to execute that change in a way that works for you. That includes developing concrete skills and tools so you can experiment with new roles, build your dream team of support, and find the conditions for optimal performance.

Who Can Benefit From This Masterclass?
If self-help books, family support, and other approaches haven’t helped—or if you just aren’t sure where to get started or how to stay committed—you aren’t alone!
Imposter syndrome hits people who are successful, whether you’ve graduated from college and received a top offer but are now struggling in the work world, or you’re the head of a division or a senior executive and still struggling to define yourself or work in a way that drives your advancement.
Many people are excited to start a new workbook or program, but the concepts aren’t always clear or actionable. And if you don’t get what you want out of these attempts, it’s natural to question whether they can really work for you. This is especially true if you are struggling to implement changes on your own.
- People who work well in group settings (our small group size ensures you get additional support without losing the one-on-one attention you need)
- People who have tried self-help books before and like an action-oriented, proactive approach that gives you clear steps and accountability so you can move through the program and start seeing results quickly)
- People who benefit from a clear plan, structure, and schedule
- People who want to see results fast (this time-limited Masterclass is designed to move you through the program efficiently so you can move forward in your life)
So who can benefit from our Own Your Greatness Masterclass?:
- Build a close community of professionals who understand where you are coming from and what it is you need to learn how to beat imposter syndrome

- Find ways to remediate triggers and trap doors when you talk about imposter syndrome
- Identify productive ways to deal with lapse/relapse on your journey to learning how to deal with imposter syndrome

You are not alone – We've dealt with Fraud Syndrome!
Let’s consider two people in similar jobs at similar companies. Both are hard-working. Both are successful. Both earn a healthy income.
Yet, only one of these professionals is thriving and happy. The other is always exhausted and too busy to focus on her personal and professional needs. She feels like she doesn’t have a choice about the direction of her career.
The truth is that having a “successful” career isn’t the same as having a satisfying one.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t have both. It all comes down to how you define success and what you need to feel happy.
Defining your own success isn’t always easy, though, especially when people dismiss the concerns you have about your current position. You’ve probably heard them say things like, “No one likes working, you have an amazing position and you should just be happy” as though that’s supposed to make you feel better!
You’re not alone—we’ve been there. Despite master’s degrees and doctorates, we felt like we had no options. We didn’t know what we wanted for ourselves, let alone how to achieve it. And our jobs didn’t leave much time or energy to figure it out.
That’s why it’s so valuable to have the right support: a mentor or coach who understands what you’re going through and can help you find the best path for you and your unique skills, goals, and needs.
We’ve worked through imposter syndrome in our own lives, and we’ve helped hundreds of clients address their fears and do all the work they need to thrive.
As psychologists and executive coaches in New York City, we’ve been working with highly successful and accomplished individuals for over 15 years. We have the experience you need to learn how to overcome imposter syndrome.
