University of Mary Washington Women’s Leadership Colloquium presents the September Coffee Talk on Tuesday, Sept. 12, from 8 to 9 a.m. in the Kalnen Inn Living Room at the Jepson Alumni Executive Center, 1119 Hanover St. Street parking is available. Register for the September Coffee Talk.
Join us at September’s Coffee Talk as we delve into Imposter Syndrome – the condition of feeling anxious and not experiencing success internally, despite being high-performing in external, objective ways. Discover how this psychological phenomenon affects many accomplished women, undermining their self-confidence and hindering professional growth. Together we’ll explore practical strategies to overcome Imposter Syndrome, empowering each other to embrace our achievements, unlock our full potential, and thrive in our diverse endeavors.
September’s Coffee Talk will be led by Assistant Professor of Management Alexandra Dunn.
