Get clear on exactly what’s holding you back — then get over it.
Welcome to Together in tech’s Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp, an 8-week live online bootcamp that will help you take your career to the next level — without second-guessing whether you deserve it. Our next cohort starts March 7th!

Do any of these sound familiar?
“I know I’m good at my job – but the second someone questions why I made a decision I freeze up.”
“I’m super happy with my career progression so far, but I almost feel like it all happened by accident, rather than me choosing the path. I’d like to get clear on what I really want for myself next.”
“I’m outgoing and confident on the outside and in general, but underneath that I’m not convinced I’m actually making the right choices.”
“I know I need to be negotiating my salary, but it’s really uncomfortable not to just jump at whatever I’m offered.”
“I think I’m pretty good at my job, but I don’t have formal training, so whenever it’s time to apply for a new job I freak out a bit.”
You’re not alone!
Even the most brilliant people we know have to work to own their amazingness.
They get a shiny new opportunity and their first reaction is “I don’t know if I can do this.”
(This is especially true for anyone who sees themselves outside the typical narrative of “who belongs” — whether in tech or anywhere else.)
But they can.
You can.
And we’re here to help you know it at the deepest level.
Knowing how to do your job is one thing. But when you also know your worth? That’s when the magic happens.
Here’s the thing: imposter syndrome is totally normal. It’s something we pretty much all have to deal with, at least occasionally.
You can even see it as a good thing — a signal that you’re stepping up into a new level in your career.
But! The problem comes when you let it hold you back from going after those opportunities you know could make a massive difference for your career:
Not taking the lead on that project (which was your idea in the first place).
Not going for that job you really want — but have never done before.
Not speaking up in that meeting when you see things going off the rails.
And that’s why — even though imposter syndrome is a completely normal, to-be-expected-sometimes part of working in tech — just letting it go unchecked, without actually doing anything about it, isn’t the answer.
Which is why we’ve created the Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp
An 8-week live bootcamp that will help you identify exactly how imposter syndrome is showing up for you, and learn how to deal with it when it does.
Fast forward eight weeks and this could be you:
“I've found my voice. No more muting my ideas in meetings!”
“Making a mistake doesn’t make me question my whole career anymore.”
“After the bootcamp, I confidently negotiated a raise, and got it!”
“I don't freeze during presentations now. I own them!”
“I've learned to lead authentically, and my team has never been stronger.”
“When others praise my work, I believe them. No second-guessing.”
“Feedback sessions at work don't spiral me into self-doubt.”
“Going up to strangers at tech conferences? I can do it with a smile (and actually mean it).”
“I actually take the time to celebrate my accomplishments — and not just say they’re down to luck.”
“I’ve had a huge jump in title (and more than doubled my salary 😊).”
Melissa Brand, Data Architect
“The Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp is one of the best programmes I've done. It taught me to really look inward and recognise that I am unique and enough. Yota is the best mentor you could have. We all have the courage and confidence to succeed and Yota helps you unlock this within yourself. It’s a journey and a process, but it's all about taking the first step.”
Here’s what we’ll cover
Week 1: Uncover your confidence
Discover what confidence really means and identify the triggers that shake yours. We’ll help you fail forward and find the beauty in making mistakes.
Week 2: Know your Strengths
We all have our unique strengths that we bring to the table. Learn how to spot them and tap into them to tackle any challenge that comes your way.
Week 3: Transform your self-talk
Our internal stories and self-talk can impact how we show up in our work and life. Learn how to turn your inner critic into your biggest fan and speak to yourself in an empowering way.
Week 4: Communicate with clarity
Understand what you believe in and how to communicate it effectively. Learn how to set boundaries, voice your needs, and be assertive yet kind.
Week 5: Find your courage
Explore how fear holds you back and learn how to embrace it to find courage. Push yourself out of your comfort zone, and show up authentically in even the most challenging situations.
Week 6: Build your brand
Personal branding isn’t a mystery anymore. Learn to get past the blocks that are holding you back from showcasing your unique brand.
Week 7: Speak with ease
The idea of public speaking can be nerve-wracking. But we’ve got you covered, with tips to help you prepare, stay calm, and give a great talk even if you’re not a natural speaker.
Week 8: Plan for success
Learn how to set goals that boost your confidence and celebrate your successes along the way. No more self-doubt – own your success and let it carry you forward.
By the end of the bootcamp you’ll be able to:
Take your career to the next level

Say goodbye to imposter syndrome and hello to true self-confidence! You’ll learn to tap into your strengths and become your own biggest cheerleader, even after we’re done.
Find your place in a super supportive community
Feel like you’re the only one struggling with these things? You’re not. With Step Up, you’ll be joining a community of people who are in it with you — and ready to lift you up when you need it.
Meet your coach.
Meet your coach.
Meet your coach (and Together in tech’s founder), Yota Trom.
Yota started her career as a software engineer, working her way into senior roles in big tech companies including Yahoo and Amazon, where she was often the only woman in the room.
Now she’s a tech coach on a mission to empower people to step into their confidence and level up their careers — especially women and others who find themselves outside the traditional narrative of who “belongs” in tech.
Yota’s been an insider in many of tech’s biggest companies (*cough* Google *cough*), so she can tell you exactly what you need to do to take your career where you want it to go.
And how to do it without sacrificing your authenticity, your values, or your personal life.

Bihe Zhu, Senior Product Manager @ Amazon
“I’m starting with Amazon in three weeks. Before Together, I would never have had the courage to even apply. I never would have believed that I could get a job with a company like that. Because it’s a tech company by definition, and I was constantly being told I’m not a “tech person.” But Together gave me the courage to take that step — and the motivation, feeling like everybody can achieve what they really want to achieve.”

We get it, you’re busy. That’s exactly why we’ve designed the Imposter Syndrome Bootcamp to give you a short, intense experience that will transform your approach to work and life in a few weeks (because there’s a good chance some of that “busy-ness” comes down to imposter syndrome, but we can talk about that in the programme!).
Instead of thinking of the bootcamp as something separate from your work, think of it as a support system for your work. This is your chance to really get clear on how you can show up for yourself (and your work!) from a place of strength, confidence and joy — which then makes everything flow better from there.
No more 'fake it till you make it.' You’ve made it.
Now’s the time to put imposter syndrome in its place. So that one day very soon you wake up and realize that your potential isn’t just potential anymore — it’s reality.
