PMI UK Webinar: Why So Many Project Managers Feel Like Imposters and How Great Leaders Break Free. 9th July 2026

Many project professionals experience moments of self‑doubt, uncertainty, or a sense of not belonging, even when they are performing at a high level. These feelings, often described as imposter syndrome, can quietly influence confidence, communication and decision‑making in demanding project environments.

In this session, Lee Roebeck explores the underlying patterns that contribute to imposter syndrome and how leaders can develop a more grounded and resilient mindset. The session will introduce practical tools to help project managers:

• recognise the root causes of self‑doubt
• interrupt unhelpful thinking patterns
• strengthen confidence and self‑trust
• develop more empowering beliefs about their capability and contribution

Participants will leave with clear, applicable strategies to support their leadership presence and personal effectiveness.

This session examines how imposter syndrome affects leadership, communication, stakeholder engagement, psychological safety and decision‑making. It also explores how project leaders can build confidence, resilience and trust under pressure.
