Leadership coach and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) professional Sophie Turner explains how CIMA helped her navigate the learning and development path in her career, the psychology of imposter syndrome, and considerations for organisations looking to create a more diverse and inclusive culture.

Turner explains the importance of objectivity as a remedy for persistent self-doubt and why it's hard for people suffering from imposter syndrome to tap into the objective side of their brain.
