As a result, people experiencing this syndrome live in fear of being "found out."

In this engaging presentation by Valerie Young, Ed.D. — an internationally known career coach who has spoken about the imposter syndrome to leading universities, corporations, and non-profit associations — you'll find out you're not alone in feelings of inadequacy, and you'll gain valuable strategies for overcoming those feelings.
