SUMMARY:Building Your Power and Battling Imposter Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:We envision a world where diverse\, accomplished leaders collectively transform health outcomes. To realize that vision\, we seek to expand the power and influence of talented mid-career women in health and engage with senior institutional and societal leaders to catalyze systemic change for gender equality in health leadership. We work in East Africa\, India\, Nigeria\, North America\, and Southern Africa and continue to explore outreach to other regions. \nPowerUp Workshop Series \nThe Southern Africa PowerUp Workshop series is free and open to mid-career women in public health globally\, including all regions where we operate \nThe workshops are hosted virtually\, focus on developing leadership skills\, and fostering meaningful connections between Women Leaders in health within a regional context. The topics rotate with each workshop. We encourage Women Leaders in Public Health to join us\, and use these workshops as an opportunity to learn\, engage with other Women Leaders\, and build a community. \nBuilding Your Power and Battling Imposter Syndrome \n29 January 2025 – 14:00–16:30 CAT \nThe global health workforce is facing a leadership crisis; women are estimated to hold between 70 and 75% of global health positions worldwide yet\, they occupy only 25% of the senior leadership positions. \nWomenLift Health research found various structural barriers behind the gender gap in leadership including a lack of mentorship\, the demands of balancing work and family life\, and traditionally patriarchal work cultures\, which reinforce a systemic lack of self-confidence among women. \nImposter syndrome was identified in 1978 by two Psychologists\, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Innes. In a study of women academics\, they found that many women felt that they were not deserving of their accomplishments. This manifests as a lack of confidence\, and a fear of being ‘found out’. The WomenLift Health research conducted among mid-career women working in health found that women often wait for others to see their potential and tend to undersell their achievements and contributions relative to their male counterparts. \nImposter syndrome however is not an innate feeling that women are born with\, it is often the result of facing repeated exclusion and systemic barriers. While there is a \nneed to collectively hold systems accountable\, those who experience imposter syndrome also need strategies to counter it. \nPowerUp Objectives:  \nIn this workshop you will: \n\n	Recognise imposter syndrome and identify ways to overcome it\n	Focus on learning from the specific experiences that are highly relevant\n	Identify experiences that will prepare you to lead more effectively within the context of your job\, role and organization\n\nRegistration Details \nPlease note that to enroll in the session\, you need to complete all sections of the registration form.  \nYou are eligible for the workshop if you identify as a woman. \nThis virtual workshop is free and will be conducted in the English language. \nWomenLift Health PowerUp Workshops are interactive. By signing up\, participants agree to participate in the full session\, which includes plenary discussions and breakout group activities.  \nEnrollment will be on a first-come-first-served basis\, as spots are limited. \n*Although women at all career stages are welcome to register\, we believe participants who are at the mid-career stage will benefit most\, as the content of the workshop has been designed with mid-career women health professionals in mind (10–25 years of experience working in the public health sector). If the number of registrants exceeds our capacity\, women who are within the preferred experience range will be given priority.  \nRegistrants should await an email confirming their spot in the workshop. Please check your spam folders if you did not receive an email.
