Speaking and Workshops

Dr. Michelle Mugge is a licensed clinical psychologist, Army veteran, and author specializing in imposter syndrome and self-doubt in high-achieving women. Her keynotes and workshops bring 20 years of clinical practice into rooms where those conversations are needed most: women’s conferences, corporate leadership events, healthcare associations, and universities. If your audience includes women who have built a great deal and still wonder if they belong there, this talk is for them.

Imposter in the room is not the problem. Not knowing her name is.

The Imposter in the Room: What High-Achieving Women Carry and What to Do About It

Your audience has built careers, led teams, and earned every credential in the room. They have also, quietly, wondered if any of it counts. Dr. Michelle Mugge is a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience working exclusively with high-achieving women. She brings two proprietary frameworks, the IMPOSTER Method and the WATCH ME framework, to bear on that experience in a talk that is research-grounded, clinically precise, and deeply personal. The result is an audience that leaves seen, named, and equipped.

Ideal for: women’s conferences, corporate leadership events, ERGs, healthcare organizations, and associations serving professional women.

Beyond the Keynote

Dr. Mugge also offers half-day and full-day workshop experiences for organizations that want to go deeper than a single keynote. Workshops are built around the IMPOSTER and WATCH ME frameworks, customized to your audience, and available virtually or in person.
