💡 Have you ever felt like your peers have things figured out, but your achievements are due to luck or some factor other than talent? Maybe you have perfectionist habits or self-doubts?
Women@NCSA invites you to join us on Zoom from 2–3 p.m. to hear from Jessamyn Perlus, Interim Senior Associate Director and Manager of the Career Exploration Unit, Cornell University, on "Understanding and Overcoming the Imposter Experience."
This workshop clarifies what the impostor phenomenon is and isn’t and shares the latest research. We’ll discuss just how common this experience is, especially among individuals who are a minority in their profession. Then we focus on understanding unintended consequences that may affect your career and health. The presentation aims to teach evidence-based skills so you can recognize and overcome feelings of self-doubt to advocate for yourself in professional settings.
