Thank you so much for such a great session on Imposter Syndrome. Your talk was incredibly engaging and relatable. It was a lightbulb moment to learn about the signs, symptoms and coping mechanisms of something that impacts so many of us, but is talked about so rarely. Jessamy perfectly tailored her talk to our audience - I wouldn’t hesitate to work together again in the future!
