About Crushing Imposter Syndrome:

This session will focuse on both identifying imposter syndrome and providing tips and tricks for how to navigate imposter syndrome successfully. While imposter syndrome impacts all genders within higher education (apparently most of us feel like imposters!), this workshop will evaluate the syndrome from a gendered lens, highlighting the ways in which girls are socialized to perfection. Inspired by both Valerie Young's iconic text Secret Thoughts of Successful Women and Reshme Saujani's incisive text Brave, Not Perfect, we will confront our imposter syndrome head-on with tangible tools to remind us of our value and worth.
