Venue:
Thrive Centre of Business Excellence, Meath County Council (C15 E8KV)
This practical workshop looks at how Imposter Syndrome shows up in business owners and those
considering starting a business, and how it affects confidence, decision-making, and engagement with
available supports.
The session is particularly suited to Local Enterprise Week, where many participants are exploring
ideas, opportunities, or next steps while carrying unspoken self-doubt or hesitation.
Participants are introduced to the concept of Hidden Cognitive Strain as the broader experience that
often sits beneath imposter thinking.
This is not a wellness or therapeutic session. It is a practical business support designed to help
participants get more value from Local Enterprise Week.
