Feeling like you don't deserve your success, questioning your abilities or worrying that you'll be "found out" can affect people at any stage of their career. In this honest and practical session, Laura Buckley shares her own experience of overcoming imposter syndrome as a director, a woman working in engineering and the daughter of a company founder. She'll explore how she learned to stop comparing herself with others, ask for support when she needed it and gradually build her confidence, alongside practical steps you can use to challenge your own self-doubt and focus on your goals.
