The Imposter in the Machine
Why nurse coaching is the fastest-growing holistic specialty in nursing β and what your impostor syndrome is actually trying to tell you.
You know the feeling. Who am I to do this?
You've felt it the moment you considered coaching, leadership, or anything beyond the bedside.
You tell yourself real experts don't feel this unsure.
You tell yourself you'll try once the feeling goes away.
It won't go away. Not because something is wrong with you β but because of where you're standing.
It's not a confidence problem. It's a needs mismatch problem. And in this masterclass, you're going to see exactly why.
What You'll Discover
In this CEU-eligible masterclass, Laura Minard, BSN, RN, NC-BC walks you through:
The real research behind impostor syndrome β where it actually came from, why it was never meant to be called a "syndrome," and why healthcare workers carry it worse than almost any other field.
Tony Robbins' Six Basic Human Needs framework β and the two needs the modern nursing system consistently fails to feed.
Why the discomfort of stepping outside the bedside isn't a red flag β it's a specific, nameable signal pointing straight at what's missing.
How nurse coaches use this exact framework to create breakthrough moments with clients β and why it works when patient education alone never does.
“Impostor syndrome is not evidence of inadequacy. It's the sound of growth and contribution demanding to be fed.”β Laura Minard
The Moment That Changes Everything
Partway through this masterclass, Laura walks the room through a simple exercise: name the moment your impostor voice gets the loudest β then match it to the human need underneath it.
Certainty. Significance. Connection. Growth. Nurse after nurse, live on the call, named it instantly.
Naming the need removes its power to masquerade as a verdict on your worth.
Who This Is For
Nurses who feel completely capable at the bedside but instantly unsure the moment they imagine leading, coaching, or building something of their own.
Nurses who've thought about coaching but talk themselves out of it because they "don't feel like an expert yet."
Nurses who sense something is structurally broken in how care is delivered β and want language for what's actually missing.
Nurse coaches already building a practice who still catch themselves waiting to feel "ready enough" to charge, market, or claim the title.
If any of that sounds like you, watch this.

She's walked alongside hundreds of nurses through the exact crossroads this masterclass is about β and she built this framework because she got tired of watching brilliant nurses stay stuck in a pattern they couldn't see.
