Grappling with Gremlins: Three Steps to Managing Imposter Syndrome
Our rapidly evolving workplace demands that we show up, stand up, and speak up. Again and again. But this is easier said than done. We all have gremlins, those inner critics that emerge from early incidents with early influencers and attach firmly to our psyche. They might whisper, “You’re not good enough! You don’t belong here! You can’t hack this!” They want us to stay safe and survive. But while their intentions are good, they’re not in charge. In this active and engaging workshop, Tina Schust Robinson, founder of WorkJoy and author of Developing Your Business Leaders: A Guide to Investing at All Levels (ATD Press, 2026), offers practical ways to grapple with the gremlins that can keep us – and our leaders – small, scared, and stuck. Help leaders at all levels in your organization, including yourselves, manage the inner voices that diminish self-confidence, dent resilience, and deplete motivation.
