Webinar: Imposter Syndrome with Mark J. Silverman

A free professional development webinar for Theta Tau members and alumni, featuring executive coach and bestselling author Mark J. Silverman.

Have you ever wondered if you are good enough for the role you have?  Maybe it is your first one, maybe it is a new one, maybe it is a promotion, maybe it just lingers…  You did the work. You earned the degree, passed the exams, shipped the projects. Maybe you have the title now, and the team, and the budget.  Your boss and your team tell you you are doing a great job…

But somewhere in the back of your head, a voice still says someone is eventually going to figure out you don’t know what you’re doing.

That voice usually gets louder as you get better. Every promotion moves you further from the work you were measurably excellent at and deeper into work nobody handed you a spec for. The competence you built doesn’t transfer cleanly. So the doubt shows up right when your résumé says it shouldn’t.

This is called the imposter syndrome.

Join us for a candid conversation about what it is, and strategies to overcome it and take your career to new heights.

Executive coach Mark J. Silverman has spent more than a decade working with CEOs, senior executives, and fast-rising leaders on exactly this. In one hour, he’ll unpack where imposter syndrome actually comes from, why high achievers are the most likely people to feel it, and what to do the next time it shows up in the middle of a meeting.

About Mark J Silverman

Mark J. Silverman is an executive coach, speaker, and bestselling author who works with CEOs, senior executives, and fast-rising leaders on sustainable success, the kind that produces results without burning people down.

He came to coaching after a career as a revenue leader in tech, where he generated more than $90 million in sales growth for fast-moving startups. His particular skill was getting executives, technical leads, and stakeholders aligned well enough to close complex multimillion-dollar deals, which means he has spent a lot of time in rooms full of engineers and knows how this audience thinks.

He also knows what the bottom looks like. At 27, Mark was homeless, 135 pounds, and living in his truck. By 33, he was a millionaire. The distance between those two numbers is a lot of the reason he can talk about self-doubt without flinching.

Mark is the author of Only 10s 2.0 — Confront Your To-Do List, Transform Your Life, which has sold more than 75,000 copies, and The Rising Leader Handbook: High Achiever ≠ Effective Leader. He hosts The Rising Leader Podcast, where he interviews thinkers, leaders, and coaches on what it takes to grow from the inside out.
