Impostor syndrome shows up for so many of us — that voice that says you don’t belong, even when you’ve worked hard to earn your place. The truth is, you’re not alone in feeling it.
In this panel, we’ll have an honest conversation about how impostor syndrome has shaped our careers, and what’s helped us move through it. We’ll talk about:
Building confidence and owning your voice: quieting the inner critic and speaking up
Navigating career growth and transitions: how self-doubt can show up when you’re stepping into something new
Mental health and burnout: recognizing when impostor feelings start draining your energy
Inclusivity and belonging: how culture and community can change the story
We’re bringing together different perspectives of various design roles and industries with the hope that you’ll leave with both relatable stories and practical things you can try.
Join us for an open and supportive conversation on impostor syndrome, with stories and takeaways you can carry into your own journey. ✨
