Self-Leadership
Transform Yourself by Embracing The Ownership Mindset
Self Leadership keynote address by Kerry Siggins
Overview
Did you know that a whopping 84% of leaders say they experience imposter syndrome frequently, and only 5% percent of employers discuss imposter syndrome with their employees? Left unaddressed, the “Fake it ‘til you make it” culture causes leaders to crash and burn.
Imposter syndrome leaves leaders feeling inadequate and compensating for their self-doubt. These leaders offset imposter syndrome by telling white lies, cutting corners, or even cheating, chipping away at their credibility, leaving them ineffective at best. (And at worst – look at Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos or Kenneth Lay of Enron.)
Enter The Ownership Mindset--by learning to lead themselves, leaders can overcome impostor syndrome and become the confident, effective leaders they were meant to be.
In this emotional and inspiring keynote, Kerry shares how imposter syndrome almost destroyed her. She illuminates how she overhauled her thinking by embracing “The Ownership Mindset” and used it to turn her life around to become a powerful and inspiring leader.
After hearing Kerry’s story, leaders will understand how to face their insecurities and be inspired to kick their imposter syndrome to the curb. They will see how openly embracing their flaws and The Ownership Mindset will make them more effective leaders – leaders worth following.
