The New Jersey School Boards Association will host a webinar, “Recognizing and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome” on Tuesday, May 14 at 1 p.m.
Are you high achieving, 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 professionals suffer from impostor syndrome.
In this presentation we will define what it is and how we can identify this all-too-common self-limiting belief about ourselves. We will discuss ways to ameliorate its effects on our careers, so we can own our greatness and stop doubting the value we bring to our organizations. This webinar is part of the Women’s Leadership Series. All are welcome.
