The Way We Work Series

Understanding and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

This event has been postponed and will be rescheduled.
 

"It’s only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. I just work harder than the others. I don’t deserve this. It’s just a matter of time before I am found out. Someone must have made a terrible mistake."

Chances are, at least part of this internal monologue has been something you've repeated before. You're not alone. An internationally known speaker on impostor syndrome, Dr. Valerie Young has devoted her career to understanding why professionals experience crushing self-doubt and how that impacts success. In her decades of in-the-trenches research, Dr. Young has uncovered the often surprising reasons why our most deeply held beliefs about ourselves have actually held us back.

Impostor syndrome impacts men and women alike. In this session you will learn to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt, and banish the thought patterns that undermine your ability to feel — and act — as bright and capable as others already know you are.
