Study with Clare Josa, the UK's leading authority on Imposter Syndrome and the creator of the Natural Resilience Method™, which is what you'll learn to facilitate.
This research-backed training gets you taming your own Inner Critic, learning how to turn it into your biggest cheerleader, then it teaches you how to support others to do the same, on a one-to-one, first-aid basis.
All in busy-schedule-friendly, bite-sized chunks of practical inspiration.
Never again will you feel stuck for what to do or say if someone comes to you with Imposter Syndrome, wanting help and advice.
Study with Clare Josa, the UK's leading authority on Imposter Syndrome, with nearly 20 years of specialising in the field, and the best-selling author of Ditching Imposter Syndrome.
In this life-changing training, based on Clare's science-backed Natural Resilience Method™ framework, here's what to expect:
Upon successful completion of this training, you'll be qualified to support members of your organisation on a 'first aid' basis with Imposter Syndrome, which means you will be able to help them to:
"Who am I to help people to tame their inner critic?"
Worried you won't be able to help people with this because your own inner critic is still running wild and you secretly feel like an Imposter, too?
Not a problem! That's why this training is designed so that you first learn how to use all of the strategies from my Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp™ programme for yourself, before you learn how to teach them to others...
... so that your Inner Critic won't get in the way of you helping them with theirs.
You'll feel prepared, capable and confident to help others, one-to-one, as an Imposter Syndrome First-Aider.
You'll start by experiencing the Inner Critic Bootcamp™ programme for yourself, then you'll learn how to teach these strategies to others.
And you're fully supported, with twice-monthly tutorial calls with Clare for the first four months, just for your cohort, then a further 8 months of monthly all-student Q&A calls.
So you've got a full year of support.
Phase One: Experiencing The Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp™ For Yourself

Week 1

It's time to reclaim your personal power! This module is about how to do so without p*ing everyone off or feeling guilty for saying no. It's perfect for people-pleasers. And it's also when we'll be tackling the secret reasons why we get stuck with perfectionism and procrastination.

You'll get the latest from my research studies, plus details of how it affects individuals and organisations.

Week 10
Module 8 is all about how to spot the early warning signs for Imposter Syndrome, so that you know when to have the conversation.
It also teaches you how to help someone to spot those signs for themselves, before they self-sabotage.

Week 11
Discover the life-changing impact of Soultuitive® Listening. Plus you'll cover the practical side of how to mention the Imposter Syndrome topic without people forever hiding behind corners to avoid you in corridors, and how to remove the Imposter Syndrome taboo.

10
Week 13
Dive in and learn how to teach the 'first aid' techniques for Imposter Syndrome, on a one-to-one basis. They will be familiar to you from the Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp™ training, so this is where you'll learn ninja tips and how to share them. Plus you get cheat sheet guides to make this easier!
11
Week 14
In this module you'll learn how to teach the techniques that help to prevent Imposter Syndrome, on a one-to-one basis. You'll be helping people to rewire their neural pathways and to reprogram their body's stress response, so that they don't have to feel they're constantly on the look-out for threats.
12
Week 15
Making your organisation more Imposter-Syndrome-proof. You'll learn how to adapt feedback and performance reviews so they are less likely to trigger Imposter Syndrome, and the key ingredients for a company-wide strategy so that the Imposter Syndrome taboo becomes a thing of the past and people no longer have to suffer in silence.
One of the most common questions leaders ask me after they've watched one of my Imposter Syndrome keynote talks is what they can do to support team members.
They can see the impact Imposter Syndrome is having, both for individuals and for the organisation's success, but they're not sure where to start. And they're often running Imposter Syndrome themselves, too.
So I've created this certification programme to support you with becoming an Imposter Syndrome First-Aider, giving you tools that make a difference, fast, when they're needed most.
You'll feel confident in using them, because you'll have learned how to use them for yourself, first, rewiring your brain to turn your inner critic into a genuine cheerleader.
And you'll be getting to make a difference, removing the Imposter Syndrome taboo and helping people to reconnect with hope - as they realise they can do something practical to stop Imposter Syndrome in its tracks and they no longer have to live at the mercy of negative self-talk.
Are you in?
The Imposter Syndrome First-Aider is a live programme, with the 2023 rounds starting in May and November.
There are only 25 places, worldwide, with everyone working through the modules at the same time.
Here's what's included, to help you to get the most possible from this training:
Personalise your action plans, get hot seat mentoring with me, and learn from others' questions, with twice-monthly group coaching calls, for a whole four months, just for the students in your cohort.
I often teach ninja strategies on these calls, based on the questions I'm asked. We'll all be be your virtual cheerleader. And these calls can help you to create even deeper change.
All of the techniques from the Imposter Syndrome Critic Bootcamp™ are waiting for you in a student-only private podcast, meaning you can listen to them in your favourite podcast app, whenever you need them.
Students describe this as being like having me in their pocket as a mini-mentor.
But the support doesn’t disappear after the first few weeks. You get a further eight months’ access to my monthly all-student hot seat calls, so there’s a full year of support.
Know that you get better results when you share the journey with others than if you try to go-it-alone? That's what the private community is there for! It's to help make sure you don't accidentally quit, right before you see results. And you'll get to support others who aren't as far ahead as you.
Plus you'll have private discussion threads within each lesson for phase two, which are only visible to those on the Imposter Syndrome First-Aiders programme.
Go beyond supported self-study.
You'll get a module of video / audio lessons each week, to study at a time that suits you.
Get extra support and work directly with Clare, by joining the tutorial calls, just for your cohort, upgraded to be with Clare, rather than one of her certified mentors.

These run via Zoom and are Q&A format with hot seat mentoring. The main teaching for the course happens via the video training and the podcast app.
You can join us from anywhere in the world.
All calls are optional and are there to support you to get the most from this programme. They are audio recorded and are only available to people in your cohort, to protect your privacy.
Calls are arranged to suit as many timezones as possible can join us. Dates are in your welcome pack.
The main training is in a secure area of my online training vault, which means you can access it from any computer or smartphone, at a time to suit you.
And there's no expiry - it won't suddenly disappear. So you can come back to it and revisit the training whenever you want to.
There's a separate discussion thread for each lesson in the modules, which are only visible to Imposter Syndrome First-Aiders and my certified Imposter Syndrome Mentors, so you can easily keep track of where you're up to - and see what others have been sharing, too.
It's the perfect place to share your lightbulb moments, for accountability, to bounce ideas, and network to make new friends.
Certification lasts for a year after you complete your assignments, after which you'll be asked to complete some CPD, to make sure you're always using the latest techniques.
You'll also be asked to complete a short assignment, to showcase what you have learned over the previous two years.
This is also a great chance to get answers to any questions you might have.
It also includes your monthly newsletter, access to all future upgrades and new techniques, and an invitation to our annual conference (virtual), to learn from expert seminars and also join in on co-creating the future vision for this work.
There is a nominal fee of £495+VAT for this.
Absolutely. We can set this up for you. Each organisation can send up to five delegates.
Plus we can also run this for you as an in-house programme, rather than being part of the public programme, for a minimum of twelve people.
Please contact Clare's team to arrange a bulk pass.
Yes, there is. It includes all of the key information from this page, plus a bit of background on what Imposter Syndrome is / isn't and how certified Imposter Syndrome First-Aiders can help an organisation.
It also explains the process for reserving your place while the invoice is processed and paid by your organisation.
Here's where to download it:
These cover as many time zones as possible.
The main teaching happens with each week's modules, so if you can't make a Q&A call, you're still getting full access to the programme. The calls are audio recorded for your cohort, so you can still catch them.
If there's a call you can't make and you have a question for Clare, you can email her team (you'll get details of how to do that once you're registered) and she'll record an answer for you.
This training certifies you to support people on a 1:1 'first aid' basis and is not a coaching qualification.
It does not qualify or authorise you to market yourself as an Imposter Syndrome Coach.
I do, however, have a training that does.
The Certified Imposter Syndrome Master Coach training is a year-long programme that helps experienced coaches, therapists and mentors to work at the deeper levels required for Imposter Syndrome work.
NOTE: This first-aider programme is a pre-requisite for the Master Coach training.
The Master Coach about helping you to support someone to set themselves free from Imposter Syndrome, once and for all.
In comparison, this training is about 'first aid' and foundation-level 'preventative'.
It's about supporting them when Imposter Syndrome strikes, and also teaching them the foundations of how to choose which thoughts to feed. This is one of my five pillars for truly ditching Imposter Syndrome, and it can change their life forever.
It's an incredible gift to be able to share with them.
And it also qualifies you to support team members through my Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp™ programme.
Mental health first-aiders play a vital role in spotting and supporting people in times of a mental health crisis.
They are a listening ear, trained to know the difference between key mental health issues, such as depression vs schizophrenia, and can help make sure a person gets the professional medical support they need.
However, this only kicks into place once someone is already in crisis - or close to it.
An Imposter Syndrome First-Aider is trained to facilitate, 1:1, the practical strategies from Clare Josa's Natural Resilience Method™ framework to support people before a crisis happens, so that if at all possible it won't.
A certified Imposter Syndrome First-Aider can support people on a preventative basis, rather than waiting until a problem is bad enough to need medical intervention.
They can share proven tools that enable us to:
These are skills that stay with people for life.
Due to the admin and delays this can cause, we have to say 'maybe'. It depends how complex the approved supplier process is.
Your ticket would need to be paid in full, with a purchase order and an approved-for-payment invoice, prior to the start date of the course, otherwise your place will be given to someone on the waiting list and you will need to wait for the 2023 cohort, if it runs then as a public-access course.
Alternatively, please pay by card (Stripe is secure) and reclaim it. You will be given a VAT invoice.
The assignments are designed to support you in implementing what you're learning - so you don't get to the end of the course and then freeze, because it was all theoretical.
They are also designed to support you in making those initial implementation steps fun and simple - totally non-scary.
I'll be asking you to write up what you have learned from each of the three assignments, but that process is simple and easy, too. All you need to do is answer the assignment report questions.
It's not about Pulitzer prose. It's about me being able to see that you have applied what you have learned and that you're getting ready to become an Imposter Syndrome First-Aider for your organisation.
You'll get feedback on your assignments from me or one of my certified Mentors, and they're also a great point to ask any questions you might have.
