AMA in the PM: Make Imposter Syndrome Your Superpower

As a successful marketer, do you regularly struggle with self-doubt, fear of failure, and downplay your achievements? If so, you are likely exhibiting signs of imposter syndrome, and you are not alone.

If you’ve ever doubted your leadership chops while secretly believing you have so much more to say and give, then this AMA in the PM session is for you.

For marketing pros who can sell anything....except the idea that they belong in the room…

You can pitch a $3M campaign with confidence. But you still rewrite that email three times before hitting send. You’ve led rebrands, won awards, crushed KPIs, yet when your name’s floated for the keynote or the promotion, something in you flinches.

That voice in your head? The one that says,“They’re going to realize I don’t actually know what I’m doing.”“I was lucky on that last campaign, don’t push it.”“If I speak up in this meeting, I'd better have every stat ready or I’ll get eaten alive.”

That’s not you being modest. That’s your nervous system stuck in survival mode.

Key Takeaways:

• In this workshop, executive coach Jen Coken pulls back the curtain on imposter syndrome: what it really is, why your brain clings to it, and how to rewire the pattern for good. Jen doesn't do "pep talks." She gives people strategic resets.
• You’ll not only pinpoint the defining moment that trained your brain to equate visibility with risk. You’ll learn how to decode that inner critic in real time and turn it into a compass for your next bold move.

Because you weren’t hired to blend in. You’re here to own the room. Let's make sure your brain gets the memo.

Many thanks to our event partner, !
