"Culture is a representation of what our habits are on a daily basis. If we drop the habit, we are not building the culture we're wanting to see."
Dr AJ Lauer is a leadership and diversity educator, executive coach, and founder of Thriving IBIS Leadership Solutions. With two decades of experience across higher education, non-profit research, and STEM, she specialises in imposter syndrome, psychological safety, and helping organisations make more human-centred decisions. She is also the author of My Monster Mungo, an illustrated book for adults about the imposter phenomenon.
Topics we cover
✔︎ What the imposter phenomenon actually is — and why 82% of people experience it
✔︎ How to build psychologically safe, inclusive teams where dissent and creativity are welcomed
✔︎ Why burnout and perfectionism are connected — and how leaders can interrupt the cycle
