Impostor Syndrome & Us (led by an Impostor)
Impostor syndrome is a drag. You think you aren't good enough to do what you do, even if there's a wealth of information refuting that. Maybe you feel lost, alone, and afraid while doing specific parts of your job. If this is a thing that feels familiar to you, come to this workshop! We'll get some group therapy in, I'll tell you some sweet (read: terrifying) stories from my own professional experience, and I'll give you some great resources for battling that "I should be quiet in the corner" mentality.
Am I qualified to lead this workshop? Probably not (I struggle with this every day), but I also think there should be something for people like us at every professional conference.
You'll learn:
- What impostor syndrome really is and how it affects your life and work.
- That there are more people than you think who suffer from this.
- How to help others who struggle with this.
- Resources on how to deal with this/overcome this.
- Why you shouldn't pin everything on 'luck'.
