Are you a high achieving, educated woman yet you still doubt your worth? Do you often attribute your success to luck rather than hard work and talent? If so, you are not alone. You might be surprised to find out how many exceptional and accomplished professional women suffer from impostor syndrome. In fact, research shows that 70% of women will experience imposter syndrome at some point in their career.
We welcome you to join our webinar next Tuesday, May 14 at 1 p.m. where we will define what impostor syndrome is and how we can identify this all-too-common self-limiting belief about ourselves. We will discuss ways to ameliorate its effects in our careers so you can own your greatness and stop doubting the value you bring to your organization. This webinar offers one (1) Board Member Academy credit. Register here.
