In high-stakes, high-pressure environments like the legal field, even the most accomplished professionals can struggle with self-doubt. The Inner Critic and Impostor Syndrome in Legal Practice explores how internal narratives – often shaped by early influences and reinforced by legal culture – can quietly undermine confidence, performance, and well-being. This session unpacks the voice of the inner critic, reveals how self-doubt erodes competence, and distinguishes impostor syndrome from healthy self-reflection. Through practical strategies such as reframing negative self-talk, managing self-doubt, building intentional confidence, and creating a healthy feedback loop, participants will leave equipped to disrupt the cycle of insecurity and reclaim their professional voice with clarity, courage, and impact.
