Small Steps to Success

The PGR journey is a long one. This workshop explores how small changes can help us maintain momentum and motivation and move us closer to our intended goals. There will be opportunity to consider and create planned action which will move us towards change, growth and improved wellbeing.
Imposter Syndrome
Monday 15 June 2026 – 12pm to 1pm – Group Room, 19 Clarendon Place, LS2 9JY
Imposter Syndrome is a ‘state of mind’, a belief that one day someone will discover that you are not as smart as they think. It’s a syndrome that has a powerful presence in academia. This workshop will look at why academic researchers can develop Imposter Syndrome and offer suggestions to overcome this syndrome which otherwise creates self-doubt, low self-esteem and lack of motivation.
