Am I Supposed to Be Here? Confronting and Understanding Imposter Syndrome

Join us on Wednesday, April 13 @ 6pm EST for an informative conversation with Dr. Valerie Young, who is considered the foremost expert on impostor syndrome and co-founder of Impostor Syndrome Institute. In addition to speaking at over 100 universities in the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, and the UK including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Oxford, she’s spoken at such diverse organizations as Google,Pfizer, BP, Facebook, P&G, Intel, Boeing, Microsoft, and many more. And her work has been cited around the world including in Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Psychology Today, and Science. Valerie earned her doctoral degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where she studied internal barriers to women’s achievement. Although her research subjects consisted of a racially diverse group of professional women, much of her original findings have proved directly applicable to anyone with impostor feelings. And her award-winning book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It with Random House is now in six languages.
