Imposter syndrome is the inability to internalize a sense of accomplishment, often leaving people feeling like a fraud, unworthy, incompetent, or undeserving which can become. The workshop will take the form of small group discussions exploring anonymous personal narratives surrounding experiencing, upholding, and disrupting imposter syndrome. We will explore the difference between internal feelings of validation and the feelings that come with being marginalized within an organization.
