How Conquering Imposter Syndrome Builds Better Organizations

If you’ve ever thought that you have no idea what you’re doing at work and at any moment this fraud will be found out by your co-workers and bosses, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome.

Imposter syndrome and how to overcome it is one of the many topics that will be discussed when top insurance leaders come together during Insurance Business America’s Women in Insurance events in Atlanta and Boston in April 2020.

Until then, a future panelist has provided insight on imposter syndrome, how it impacts women in the workplace as well as ways to defeat it.

“I don’t think imposter syndrome is specific to this industry,” said Kara Altenbaumer-Price, SVP of the financial services division at McGriff, Seibels & Williams and a speaker at Women in Insurance Atlanta.

“It’s something that my friends in all sorts of industries face, and one of the ways to overcome it… is to develop your champions. A commonly used phrase right now is to find your tribe or your village, and one of the ways that in my personal life I’ve overcome it and that my friends have overcome it is really to look inward to that tribe of people.”
