The bilingual Certified Professional Coach and Licensed Speaker with the Impostor Syndrome Institute offers research-based coaching and workshops designed to turn persistent self-doubt into authentic confidence and career growth.

NEW YORK -July 31, 2026 – PRLog —

Success on paper does not always translate into confidence in the room.

For many accomplished professionals, another promotion, degree, certification, or impressive job title still fails to silence the nagging suspicion that they somehow do not belong.

Certified Professional Coach Rosann Santos, CPC, is helping professionals confront that disconnect through her work as an Impostor Syndrome Informed Coach and Licensed Speaker with the Impostor Syndrome Institute, offering the Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ program through coaching, workshops, and professional development.

Impostor syndrome can manifest as far more than occasional self-doubt. Santos’ coaching program addresses patterns that can keep qualified professionals from pursuing promotions, speaking up in important meetings, recognizing their accomplishments, negotiating from a position of confidence, or fully stepping into leadership opportunities.

The Career Cost of Undervaluing Yourself

That issue connects directly with a question Santos explores in an episode of her Rosann’s Career Corner video series:

“Why Do Highly Qualified Professionals Still Feel Underpaid?”

“Many people think leadership begins when they receive the title,” says Santos. “In reality, leadership usually starts long before that promotion happens.”

Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™

Rather than relying on vague encouragement or simply telling clients to “be more confident,” the Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™ approach focuses on understanding impostor patterns and changing the thoughts and behaviors that reinforce them.

The Impostor Syndrome Institute traces the methodology to the pioneering work of Dr. Valerie Young, whose work on impostor syndrome has been delivered to more than half a million people worldwide at corporations, universities and organizations.

Through Santos’ coaching, clients can work to:

Identify the root causes and patterns behind impostor feelings
Challenge thoughts that distort their perception of competence
Internalize professional accomplishments rather than dismissing them
Develop practical strategies for managing impostor moments in real time
Build authentic confidence rooted in actual capabilities
Step more fully into leadership and professional advancement

Santos also offers group workshops for companies and organizations in English and Spanish, helping teams develop a shared language around impostor syndrome while creating environments that support confidence, collaboration, and stronger performance.
