like

“Putting ourselves first doesn’t mean that others come last.”
Dr. Katherine Iscoe, keynote speaker, sharing insights on overcoming imposter syndrome.

This relatable and thought-provoking talk sheds light on the true experience of burnout and the emotional toll of running a race against yourself with no finish line.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Why we're doing self-care all wrong (and what really works).
  • Learn the signs and symptoms of the Burnout Triad.
  • Learn the practice of ‘healthy selfishness’ and how to say 'no' (without feeling really, really guilty).

Key benefits

Sustainable leadership involves maintaining effectiveness over the long term.

Leaders who prioritise self-respect are more likely to sustain their leadership capabilities by avoiding burnout and maintaining their passion and motivation.

I highly recommend Dr Iscoe as a passionate and engaging speaker, who uses personal and general life experiences to connect with her audience. Her presentation was informative and thought provoking, using audience participation and technology to demonstrate her key points.

Dr. Katherine Iscoe, known for her empowering talks, speaking on stage about authenticity in leadership.
We spend our entire lives wearing masks to shield ourselves from perceived criticism or judgement by others. Yet what we often fail to realise is that our harshest critic is ourselves. We are essentially running a race against ourselves with no finish line. True leadership and authentic connections emerge when we let go of self-created barriers and embrace our genuine selves.
Our minds can trick us into believing that a feeling of doubt means that disaster looms ahead. As a result, we don’t raise our hands to speak (so we don’t say something ‘stupid’) and wait until we’re ‘ready’ to take on new challenges (so we don’t fail). But imagine if we looked at self-doubt as a sign to ‘go’ not take things ‘slow’?
