  • Business

Stop me if you felt this one.

You go to work, where you are a well-educated, highly-experienced, high-performing individual, in regard to tasks-at-hand and your outward charisma.

Yet, you remain anxious, nervous, or unimpressed with yourself.

Maybe you think you are a fraud, a phony – and then, enter doubt and depression.

It is not you – to psychologists, you are not yourself, in a literal sense of the word. You are an imposter, and you have imposter syndrome.

This perceived fraudulence and wave of self-doubt and incompetence can be managed, and the Young Professionals at The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County wants to help.

The Professionals’ will host speaker and Dale Carnegie-method practitioner Ellen Valudes at an event Wednesday morning at AVE Blue Bell’s media theater called “Overcoming Imposter Syndrome,” beginning at 8:30 with a breakfast and 9 for the one-hour seminar.

Chamber members are free; guests are $20, with breakfast. Register here.

For those experiencing effects of the syndrome – feeling unqualified in a role, feeling like a fraud about to be uncovered, attributing success to luck – the seminar is meant to teach how to take back control of yourself and your mind.

AVE Blue Bell is located at 1600 Union Meeting Road.
