Wellness Series: Rethinking Imposter Syndrome

RSVP

How to Feel as Bright and Capable as They "Think" You Are

Do you...

• Attribute your success to luck, timing, or computer error?
• Believe "If I can do it, anybody can?"
• Agonize over even the smallest flaws in your work?
• See constructive criticism as evidence of your ineptness?
• Think you've "fooled them again" when you do well?
• Worry that it's just a matter of time before you're "found out?"

If so, join the club!

Listen to Valerie Young, author of The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Imposter Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It, discuss what imposter syndrome is and who's susceptible to it. As importantly, walk away with practical, immediately usable strategies to finally feel as bright and capable as you really are.

This event is co-sponsored by the ADVANCE Office of Faculty Development, the PhD Network, GWISE, The Research Corporation for Science Advancement, the College of Engineering, and the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology/College of Science.
