About this event
Career and skills growth are essential for women who are in leadership - or wish to achieve leadership roles.
Yet a KPMG study in 2021 showed that 75% of women executives , across industries, have faced 'imposter syndrome' at some point in their careers. This frightening statistic demonstrates the importance of strong support systems -- including mentorship -- for women to build their confidence at work.
Our speakers will share about their own experiences with career changes, growth, and associated imposter syndrome, and how they have learned to overcome it.
Moderated by WOMAG's President, Vivian Sia, and featuring speakers who serve as mentors in WOMAG's popular (free of charge) mentoring program, this event will bring perspective and insights from leaders across our industry. Plus, a chance to network with like-minded attendees over a delicious dinner which is included in the ticket - Sign up now!
