Ways to Work Together

Because not everyone needs the same level of support, The Imposter Toolbox is available in three formats.

The Imposter Toolbox: Foundations

90-minute interactive workshop

Think of this as the trailer, not the whole film.

In ninety minutes we’ll explore what imposter feelings are, why they develop, why they stubbornly refuse to disappear after your twentieth success, and the practical tools that research shows can make a genuine difference.

It is unapologetically information-rich.

Or, to put it another way, I spend an hour and a half enthusiastically emptying twenty years’ worth of psychology onto your lap.

You’ll leave understanding your brain considerably better.

Possibly with slightly fewer tabs open in it.

Perfect for:

• Conferences and keynote sessions
• Universities and higher education
• Leadership programmes
• Businesses and organisations
• Professional bodies
• Martial arts clubs and associations
• Teams wanting a shared understanding of imposter feelings and practical strategies for managing them

 The Imposter Toolbox: Deep Dive

Four-session development programme

Here’s the thing.

Understanding why your brain does something is helpful.

Teaching it to do something different takes practice.

The Deep Dive programme spreads the learning across four interactive sessions, giving participants time to experiment with the tools, notice what happens in real life, come back with awkward stories (“I tried that thing…”), and refine their approach.

Because brains are a bit like white belts.

You can explain an armbar beautifully.

The first time you try it, you’ll probably grab entirely the wrong limb. (don’t ask me how I know)

Learning happens through repetition, feedback and occasionally realising you’ve been confidently doing something backwards for three weeks.

Each session builds on the previous one, allowing participants to develop lasting habits rather than leaving inspired on Friday and accidentally letting Monday morning steal all the progress.

This programme is ideal for organisations and individuals looking for genuine behavioural change rather than simply raising awareness.

By the end of the programme participants don’t just understand the tools.

They’ve practised them.

Adapted them.

Worked out which ones fit their own personality and circumstances.

Because the best tool isn’t necessarily the cleverest one.

It’s the one you’ll actually reach for when your brain decides today is the day you’re finally going to be “found out.”

The Imposter Toolbox: Individual Coaching

Sometimes the problem isn’t understanding imposter feelings.

It’s that your particular version has become weirdly creative.

Maybe it only appears before keynote speeches.

Maybe it loves promotion interviews.

Maybe it arrives every time your coach ties a new belt around your waist, or a new medal finds its place on your medal stand.

One-to-one coaching provides a confidential space to understand your unique patterns, challenge the stories your brain insists on recycling, and develop practical strategies tailored to your goals.

Together we’ll explore which tools you’re already using, which ones you’ve forgotten you have, and which new ones deserve a permanent place in your toolbox.

Whether you’re stepping into leadership, changing careers, starting a business, preparing for competition, writing a book, returning from maternity leave, or simply trying to press Send on an email you’ve rewritten seventeen times, coaching helps bridge the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it.

It has 7 sessions. And those sessions combine psychology, coaching and practical action planning.

No motivational shouting.

No pretending confidence means never feeling scared.

Just thoughtful conversations, evidence-based tools and the occasional laugh at the wonderfully ridiculous things our brains come up with.

The Goal

The goal of The Imposter Toolbox isn’t to make you fearless.

Fear has been part of human evolution for a very long time, and frankly it isn’t going anywhere.

The goal is much simpler.

To help capable people stop waiting until they feel confident before they act.

Because confidence is a terrible project manager.

It has an unfortunate habit of arriving after you’ve already done the thing.

The aim isn’t to convince you that you’re extraordinary.

It’s to help you recognise that ordinary human self-doubt and extraordinary professional competence can exist at exactly the same time.

Once you realise that…

you stop waiting to feel ready.

You simply begin.

And if your brain occasionally insists you’re three raccoons in a trench coat pretending to be a competent adult…

…that’s OK.

The raccoons are allowed in the car.

They just don’t get to drive.
