Please join PRSA Sierra Nevada and PRSSA Nevada for our first mixer of 2020! The event is free to members and $10 for guests. Please join us for local bites, a complimentary drink and a conversation about Imposter syndrome.

Everyone’s journey to the sense of their own unworthiness is unique, but that conclusion shares one thing with all. A belief in our own unworthiness requires rigidity. It requires we stay the same. We’re going to look at:

1. The lenses through which we see ourselves, the world, the shoulds, and musts, and how they are trying to help- and how to loosen them up.

2. How our self-observation can work with our self-criticism to become safe, and even fun and nurturing, no matter how “mean’ it is now.

3. The upside and the downside of FOMO (fear of missing out) and how vulnerability and enthusiasm chip away at impostor syndrome.

4. How to come to appreciate impostor syndrome.
