Imposter Syndrome is feeling inadequate, feeling like you aren’t qualified to do the work you are doing, or feeling like you might be discovered as a fraud. A person with Imposter Syndrome experiences self-doubt and often attributes their success to luck or people overestimating their abilities. People with Imposter Syndrome also tend to downplay, discount, or minimize their abilities and achievements.

Imposter Syndrome is widespread. It is something that many of us feel whether we are a student, new to our field, or a highly accomplished person. There are ways to reduce the feelings of Imposter Syndrome and address the voices in our heads that tell us to doubt ourselves and our work.

Imposter Syndrome comes from internalized messages that we don’t always realize we are taking in. Imposter Syndrome can also stem from being a person with multiple intersecting identities, particularly identities from marginalized communities. Imposter Syndrome shows itself in a variety of ways, depending on a person’s personality, background and circumstances.

Join us to learn about Imposter Syndrome, how it shows itself, and how we can utilize tools to fight that self-doubt spiral and recognize our strengths.
