Million STEM is so excited to welcome Lisa Ventura to talk about Imposter Syndrome & how to tackle it!

Impostor Syndrome is a very common phenomenon amongst business leaders. Many struggle with it on a day to day basis, and it can be debilitating as the experience of feeling as if you are a fraud and that you don't belong in the job or profession that you are doing. It can affect anyone no matter their social status, work background, skill level, or degree of expertise, but it tends to affect women more than men.

This talk will:

- provide an overview of impostor syndrome

- provide some insights and stats on how common it is

- provide some helpful hints and tips to help you master it
