Building Confidence: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that revolves around self-perception of competence. Simply put, people doubt their achievements and they fear being seen as a fraud, despite their success. It is a common experience among professionals in tech, affecting both women and men significantly. However, women consistently report much higher rates of imposter syndrome compared to their male counterparts. In this talk, Ivana will explore the roots, triggers, and coping strategies. Attendees will leave with practical techniques and insights to help them build confidence, and move forward with a stronger sense of self-worth.
