You are doing brilliant, I don't think you could anything. Maybe make it a 2 day course so we could have longer in the break outs & longer to speak with Chrissie when asking questions / explanations.
Chrissie was ace by the way, really helpful.

Below are some extracts from our Dealing with Imposter Syndrome manual.
Imposter Syndrome – A collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success
The cycle loops and you may find yourself feeling trapped.

- Over-prepare or procrastinate
- Positive outcome
- Feelings of relief
- Receive positive feedback
- Discount positive feedback
- Attribute success to luck or hard work
The Expert
Experts feel they need to know 100 per cent about a topic before they confidently add it to their CV. It never feels like enough, preventing them from speaking up or offering an opinion.
The Soloist
You believe that a job well done means it was completed without any help.
The Superwoman/Man
Don’t confuse this group with others who overwork for compensation.
The Natural Genius
These people believe they must have inherent intelligence and ability, expecting success to be effortless. They set unrealistically high standards and measure success by speed and ease.
The Perfectionist
Perfectionists expect to be perfect at everything they do.
Reframe your thoughts
Focus on the facts
Identify your triggers
Silence automatic reactions
Share how you are feeling
Track and measure success
Create a 'Launch Sentence' to replace the negative message, e.g. 'I am good enough'
Put your Launch Sentence into your own words – make it short and snappy
Practise saying 'STOP' during daily tasks and place reminders in prominent locations
Say 'STOP' until you recall and launch your sentence
Keep a proactive ear out until it becomes a natural response
