Our MAPS participants are invited to join us for a presentation that explores how imposter syndrome is shaped by our experiences and the environments we navigate, especially when we’re the only or one of the few. Our speaker is a leadership coach who will offer strategies to quiet self-doubt and reclaim confidence in systems not always built with us in mind.

Note: This event can be attended in person or virtually.
