Why Imposter Syndrome?
Before founding her company, Teresa spent over 20 years working with top executives in corporate America and noticed something surprising: these powerful individuals often doubted themselves and their place.
Intrigued, she delved into studying why “imposter syndrome” happens and developed techniques to tame it. 82% of people experience imposter syndrome at some point. It’s one of the key barriers that limit people’s success. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Teresa has integrated this deep expertise into the other leadership and organization effectiveness methodologies, helping thousands whether through her book, speaking, coaching, or consulting. She’s on a mission to empower leaders to become confident, build effective teams, and foster healthy cultures.
