Women’s Networking Association: Taming Imposter Syndrome

Date: Thursday, September 30, 2021

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand what Imposter Syndrome is and the destructiveness it can cause in your life
  2. Strategies to identify when you are experiencing Imposter Syndrome symptoms
  3. Learn techniques for taming Imposter Syndrome self-talk

Guests will be equipped with 3 questions that they can ask themselves when feelings of Imposter Syndrome arise so they can tame that beast.

Imposter Syndrome is real!  I promise you are not alone in feeling like your success is due to luck, faking/faithing it, or any other gremlin that enjoys taking up residence in the back of your mind.  Women, especially high-achieving women, are more likely to have feelings of inadequacy even though our successes are well documented.  During our time together, we’ll dig into what Imposter Syndrome is and we’ll walk alongside each other to learn ways to remove the power of the gremlins that hinder harnessing success and self-love.
