Speaking to audiences about courage, confidence and the imposter phenomenon. Dr Kate Atkin inspires others to overcome their inner fears. This is Kates third, and most personal, book having experienced the imposter phenomenon for much of her life.

Coming from a farming background in Lincolnshire, she was the shy one of three girls. Defying expectations and despite feeling like an imposter, Kate completed an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology in 2015 and in 2024 she received her PhD for research in the imposter phenomenon, coping strategies and psychological courage.

Working with major corporates, universities, charities and the NHS, Kate is on a mission to explain what the imposter phenomenon is and what it isn't and to help individuals and organisations overcome the impact of feeling like an imposter.
