Transforming from Imposter Syndrome to Healthy Confidence

Too many of us are not living up to our potential because we are afraid to fail. Join us for a panel discussion on, “Transforming from Imposter Syndrome to Healthy Confidence.” The panel will explore how you can transform from hesitancy and doubt to confidence and enablement. There will be table discussions to open up conversation and make it easier to meet new people. Participants will walk away with ideas to influence their career by changing their inner negative voice to “yes I can.”
