On Tuesday 11 February at the Wilton Centre in Teesside, International law firm Womble Bond Dickinson is hosting an uplifting and informative fireside chat about imposter syndrome, followed by a panel discussion. This talk is part of the firms series addressing the challenges faced by women across the chemical industry. You can find the link to the webpage for registration below.

Impostor syndrome is a challenge many of us face and whilst it is not exclusively a challenge for women, it does typically affect more women than men. Those who have imposter syndrome are often successful people, but believe they are less competent than others perceive them to be and have a fear of \”being found out\”. Many people struggle with imposter syndrome without knowing what it is or how to manage its effects.

Sarah Daun, Partner at WBD, will chat with our guest speaker, Liran Kessler, Group Director of HR at 2M. They will explore the work Liran has spearheaded at 2M to improve workplace equality, the initiatives the Group has implemented and also share practical tips, and helpful strategies to tackle imposter syndrome.

A short panel discussion will follow, covering:

• How imposter syndrome impacts individuals across all levels of business
• The effects on both women and men, specifically in the process sector and STEM roles
• Useful hints and tips for managing your own imposter syndrome and supporting others
• How heads of business can improve their talent pipeline by tackling imposter syndrome in their own organisations

Guests will have the opportunity to pose questions and participate in an interactive discussion to uncover and address this important topic.
