In this episode of Girlish Gurus explores Joy and Susan talk primarily about women in the workplace (and otherwise) and how they may experience Imposter Syndrome. They also discuss equality and inclusion and how it relates to this topic, how social conditioning contributes to the issue, and the importance of women as leaders.
In this episode, we cover several key topics including:
- A KPMG study with 750 executive women and their thoughts on Imposter Syndrome.
- Is it Imposter Syndrome or a part of the systemic issues of equality and inclusion?
- Women having a voice and providing a roadmap for being emotionally intelligent leaders.
- Some solutions to managing these issues and how we, as women, can help.
