Dismantling the Imposter Narrative: Banishing Self-Doubt and Embracing Success

Description
Imposter syndrome is a behavioral health phenomenon characterized by self-doubt of intellect, skills, or accomplishments among high-achieving individuals. Some estimates indicate that nearly 70% of academic professionals experience it at some point in their careers with individuals from minority populations being most vulnerable. This interactive 2-hr virtual workshop is perfect for anyone ready to confront and overcome pervasive feelings of self-doubt and begin to embrace their successes as legitimate. 

Through self-reflection exercises and group discussions you will explore the roots of your self-doubt and identify the internal narrative that has kept you from believing in the validity of your achievements. You will walk away with not only greater awareness, but practical strategies you can use to challenge imposter feelings when they arise. Although this program is designed for individuals working or studying in academic settings, anyone can benefit from the experience. 

This workshop will provide you with practical strategies to overcome self-doubt, enhanced awareness of the roots of your imposter beliefs, and techniques for reframing negative self-talk. Facilitated by Dr. Leo Taylor and Dr. Sathya Gopalakrishnan
