Session: Battles of an Impostor
Have you ever felt like a fraud? Like you did not deserve the opportunities in front of you? Have you ever thought “why me, I should not be here”? Have you feared others might discover you are a fake?Alternatively, have you seen a talented colleague not recognising their achievements? A colleague who is hesitant to take on a new role?
These thoughts and feelings are impostor syndrome; I encounter it regularly and fight against it in myself and others. Unite with me in this battle; for yourself, your colleagues and friends.
Join me as I share my experiences with impostor syndrome, how I have fought against it, and how you can join the fight.
