This workshop series is specifically designed for young engineers who are ready to move past self-doubt and step into their full professional potential. It’s about building the internal clarity and external presence required to lead projects, influence senior stakeholders, and thrive under pressure. Confidence begins with how you own your expertise and manage your professional presence.

Over three highly interactive and experiential workshops, you’ll explore how to:

  1. Overcome Imposter Syndrome by grounding your confidence in the data of your actual technical expertise.
  2. Master High-Stakes Situations: Navigate disagreement and pressure with emotional maturity and professional clarity.
  3. Build Executive Presence: Communicate up and across the organization with the authority and simplicity required to drive decisions.

Workshops can be taken individually, but together they form a powerful journey of self-leadership and professional growth.

Workshop 1: Overcome Imposter Syndrome

Many young engineers silently struggle with Imposter Syndrome, leading to self-censorship, hesitation in meetings, and deferring to older or louder voices. This workshop grounds your professional confidence in the facts of your knowledge and ability.

In this 3-hour highly interactive session, you will:

  • Define and de-fang Imposter Syndrome: Understand the psychological roots of self-doubt and how to separate feelings of inadequacy from your actual competence.
  • Learn about the Imposter Cycle and the five types of impostorism.
  • Develop your technical voice: Practice techniques for speaking up clearly, concisely, and with authority in technical design reviews, stand-ups, and cross-functional meetings.

You’ll leave with greater internal clarity and practical strategies to:

  • Stop mentally apologizing for your presence in the room.
  • Clearly articulate your technical ideas the first time.
  • Translate self-doubt into curiosity and focused action.
  • Increase your visibility as a valuable contributor on your team.


The session is held in English and in-person. 

There will be provided a sandwich and a soda during the event. 

Please note, there is a no-show fee of 200 kr. if you don't resign the event within deadline.
