The Imposter & The Selkie (Online)


Why is it, that despite experience, success and skill, many of us still carry ideas of being an imposter? What is this persistent internalised identity as a fraud who, sooner or later, will be ‘found out’? The truth is, the imposter syndrome has nothing to do with your skill or accomplishments. In fact, it is often highly-skilled and competent people who struggle the most.

Our time together aims to provide insight and understanding of how the imposter arrives in our lives, as well as how to begin to see through, beyond and beneath its attempts to limit us. Like Dorothy encountering the Wizard of Oz, the imposter may insist you “pay no attention to that man behind the curtain”. Together we will seek to lift up the veil and expose not an all-powerful wizard, but an illusion – a trickster who knows that perceptions and realities are often quite different things. From here we can begin to ask questions of our own lives about how we may be misinterpreting reality, and how our perception and ideas of fraudulence may stop us from bringing our gifts most fully to the world.

Three interactive and embodied day-long explorations, and six evening sessions of webinars, Q&A group coaching and peer mentoring. Short enough to keep you focused, long enough to notice tangible shifts in your felt experience. Throughout we will draw upon the wisdom of myths and stories of magical shape-shifting creatures like Selkies who can change their form from seal to human.

Module One: Lifting the Curtain (childhood wounding; narratives of being ‘not enough’)

Module Two: The Tyranny of Fitting In (safety or stagnancy?)

Module Three: At the Threshold of Success (dominant cultural narratives; power)

Module Four: Re-Storying the Self (returning to source; belonging to life)
