SUMMARY:Rethinking 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 PowerUp Workshops series are free and open to mid-career women working in global health in all the regions we work. The 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 global health in each region to join us\, and use these workshops as an opportunity to learn\, engage with other women leaders\, and build community. \nRethinking Imposter Syndrome \nWednesday\, June 4\, 2025\, at 10am–12pm PT / 1–3pm ET \nThis interactive session will help you define and address imposter syndrome and work with others to identify potential gaps to improve your confidence. \nIn this two-hour workshop\, you will: \n\n	Recognize imposter syndrome and look for 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\nBackground \nImpostor syndrome was first identified in 1978 by two psychologists\, Pauline Clance and Suzanne Imes. In a study of female academics\, they found that many women felt that they weren’t deserving of their accomplishments. Dr. Valerie Young\, author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women\, believes that women in minimize their success and because they tend to fear being “found out.” \nIn 2021\, WomenLift Health developed a discovery report that surveyed the experiences of women leaders in East Africa\, India\, and North America. Our report found that 42% of North American women classified “lack of confidence” as a top barrier to advancing into leadership positions. While building confidence often occurs over time\, identifying ways to mitigate self-doubt in building confidence remains an ongoing challenge. As revealed in the report\, women and women of color often wait for others to see their potential\, while their male counterparts apply a “go for it” attitude regardless of qualifications. Women often undersell their qualifications and must be encouraged to recognize their value and contributions. Recent publications also argue that imposter syndrome is not an innate feeling that women are born with but rather the result of facing repeated exclusion and systemic bias. While we must collectively hold the system accountable\, those of us who experience imposter syndrome also need strategies to counter it. We believe in the expertise\, talent\, and capacity of women leaders and we look forward to advancing your leadership and learning from your experience! \nRegistration Details \nYou are eligible for the workshop if you meet all of the following criteria: \n\n	Identify as a woman\n	Live and work in North America (Canada and U.S.)\n	Are a mid-career global health professional*\n\nThis virtual workshop will be conducted in the English language and is free of cost. \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 global 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.
