(主持人, Dr. Sharon Bywater-Reyes)
Dr. Valerie Young joined us on campus for a workshop on Monday, October 30, 2023
Learn to take ownership of your success, overcome self-doubt, 和 banish the thought patterns that undermine your ability to feel—和 act—as bright 和 capable as others already know you are with this award-winning book by Valerie Young.
It’s only because they like me. I was in the right place at the right time. 我只是
work harder than the others. I don’t deserve this. It’s just a matter of time before
我被发现了. Someone must have made a terrible mistake.
If you are a working woman, chances are this internal monologue sounds all too familiar.
And you’re not alone. From the high-achieving Ph.D. c和idate convinced she’s only
been admitted to the program because of a clerical error to the senior executive who
worries others will find out she’s in way over her head, a shocking number of accomplished
women in all career paths 和 at every level feel as though they are faking it—impostors
in their own lives 和 careers.
While the impostor syndrome is not unique to women, women are more apt to agonize over tiny mistakes, see even constructive criticism as evidence of their shortcomings, 和 chalk up their accomplishments to luck rather than skill. 的y often unconsciously overcompensate with crippling perfectionism, overpreparation, maintaining a lower profile, withholding their talents 和 opinions, or never finishing important projects. When they do succeed, they think, Phew, I fooled ’em again
In 的 Secret Thoughts of Successful Women, Young gives these women the solution they 一直在寻找. Combining insightful analysis with effective advice 和 anecdotes, she explains what the impostor syndrome is, why fraud fears are more common in women, 和 how you can recognize the way it.

Spring 2023 Book Club
主持人, Dr. Sharon Bywater-Reyes 维多利亚·邓肯
It was a fight club—but without the fighting or the men. Every month, women would gather in a New York apartment to share sexist-job frustrations 和 trade strategies for how to tackle them. For years, these meetings were kept secret. 但时间已经 come to talk about the club.

With equal measures wit 和 rigor, Bennett provides the tactical strategies—和 the camaraderie—every woman needs to fight back, as well as tools for the men who support the cause.
