What Is Beyond Imposter Syndrome?
Beyond Imposter Syndrome is Get Empowered's ecosystem for helping people understand and move beyond patterns of self-doubt, over-preparation, fear of being "found out," discounting success, and struggling to own their value.
The approach is practical and non-clinical: imposter syndrome is not a medical condition to be diagnosed or treated — it's a common experience pattern, especially among high achievers, that can be understood, measured, and worked with.
Who Is Get Empowered?
Get Empowered provides practical resources, education, podcast content, community, and tools for people working through imposter syndrome and authenticity-related challenges. It was founded by Dr. Sherry Buffington, PhD — psychologist, author, and creator of the CoreMap Profile — and Marc W. Schwartz, coach and co-host of The Get EMPowered Podcast.
Get Empowered is home to the Beyond Imposter Syndrome webinar, the Imposter Syndrome Quiz, The Empowered Podcast, and the Authenticity Profile.
Start with the Imposter Syndrome Quiz
The quiz is a free, anonymous 10-question self-assessment that takes about two minutes. It helps you identify whether imposter feelings are quietly shaping your decisions — and gives you a clear score so you can choose a next step.

A free live session on Zoom where Dr. Sherry Buffington and Marc W. Schwartz show you how to use imposter feelings as fuel instead of letting them stop you. Registration is free and open to anyone.
