SE A2Affinity Group (virtual)

The A2 Affinity Co-chairs are happy to have one of our own presenting to the group in June. Kris Liebau will be leading a discussion on Imposter Syndrome: Reframe Your Story.

Do you feel that if you have achieved something that anyone could have done it?
Do you feel like you are where you are today due to luck?
Do you blow off compliments thinking people are just saying things to be nice?

You may be experiencing what is called “imposter syndrome”. Harvard Business Review has summarized it as “doubting your abilities and feeling like a fraud. It disproportionately affects high-achieving people, who find it difficult to accept their accomplishments. Many question whether they’re deserving of accolades.” This failure to internalize our success and accomplishments can lead us to putting in a lot more work than is needed to get the job done, drains our energy, and prevents us from speaking up and letting ourselves shine.

One of the best things you can do to combat these feelings is name it to tame it, normalize what you are feeling, and rewrite your personal narrative. Join in on the discussion with some fellow “imposters” as we shed light on how we limit our own potential and reframe our stories.
