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 need to collectively hold systems accountable\, those who experience Imposter Syndrome also need strategies to counter it.  \nJoin in and come learn with us during this enlightening session. \nRegistration Details  \nPlease register to secure your spot for this engaging session.
