Can I do th is job? Am I qualified? What if everyone in the room is smarter than me? D o I really deserve this? These feelings of inadequacy persist even in the face of evidence to the contrary.\n\nWhether we’ve been thrown in the de ep-end\, promoted when we didn’t feel ready\,  jumped into a brand new arena\, or taken a big risk\, these moments of doubt and uncertainty are c ommon\, but rarely discussed.\n\nLuckily\, the best way to beat imposter s yndrome is to talk about it! More often than we realize\, others share the same worries - even (or especially) the most accomplished\, inspiring and successful among us.\n\nOn Thursday\, April 19\, you’ll hear from eight speakers who’ll bravely take the stage\, to share five-minute stories o f times they’ve tackled imposter syndrome.
