Understanding the Roots of Imposter Syndrome

For many women in technology, imposter syndrome—the feeling of being a fraud despite evident success—can be deeply ingrained. It often stems from a mix of personality traits, past experiences, and the male-dominated nature of the tech industry. Confidence workshops can offer a space to explore these roots in a supportive environment, providing strategies to acknowledge and confront these feelings. Through guided discussions and exercises, participants can begin to unravel the complex web of thoughts that feed their imposter syndrome.
