About this event
This event is aimed at equipping HR leaders with strategies to overcome impostor syndrome, boost confidence, and lead with authenticity.
In the ever-evolving world of Human Resources, professionals are at the forefront of fostering growth, inspiring confidence, and building resilient teams. But in the process of nurturing others, they find themselves questioning their own abilities or feeling like they are “not good enough,” despite their accomplishments? This phenomenon is commonly known as Impostor Syndrome — and it’s time to tackle it together.
