Rethinking Impostor Syndrome™

Why Capable Students Doubt their Competence and What to Do About It 
Featuring Dr. Valerie Young

---

• Do you chalk accomplishments up to luck, timing, or the supposed simplicity of the task?
• Do you agonize over even the smallest flaws in your work?
• Are you crushed by constructive criticism?
• Do you wonder if you’re really “smart enough” to be here?
• When you do well, do you secretly think, “fooled them again”?

Join the club! Millions of people around the world from new hires to CEOs, first year students to PhDs, artists and engineers secretly worry that they’re not as intelligent or capable as everyone “thinks” they are.

It’s called impostor syndrome. And fortunately, there is a solution.

In this upbeat interactive session, you will:

• Understand what impostor syndrome is – and what it is not
• Discover the situational, occupational, familial, organizational, and societal reasons why fully capable students feel like frauds
• Understand the core source of impostor syndrome and why it matters
• Identify your personal “Competence Type”
• Examine how impostor syndrome shows up in the form of a pattern
• Recognize the costs of impostor syndrome to individuals and organizations

Impostor syndrome isn’t just an “interesting self-help topic.” It’s a professional development.

Whether you personally identify with impostor feelings or not, you will leave with three practical, immediately usable tools strategies to help yourself and/or the people you are or will lead, manage, mentor, teach, or parent to unlearn impostor syndrome.

Dr. Valerie Young is a global thought leader on impostor syndrome and co-founder of Impostor Syndrome Institute. She has spoken at over 100 colleges and universities including Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, and five times at MIT. She’s also shared her highly relatable and practical advice at such diverse organizations as Pfizer, Microsoft, P&G, Intel, Google, Hello Fresh, NASA, the National Cancer Institute, and the NBA to name a few.

Valerie’s work has been cited around the world in publications such as Time, Newsweek, Psychology Today, Science, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Sydney Morning Herald, Globe & Mail, and on BBC radio.

She’s the author of the award-winning book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women and Men: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It with Random House, published in seven languages.

SSIRCA judging is conducted electronically via Judgify. Judges will evaluate all presentations using the following rubrics, on a scale of 1 to 10 for each question (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest):

Undergraduate and Graduate Oral/Poster Presentations

1. Knowledge/Proficiency of Subject/Discipline: Did the presenter demonstrate knowledge/proficiency in their project?
2. Effective Use of Methods or Medium: Did presenter use appropriate methods or medium for the study?
3. Effectiveness/Organization of Presentation: Is the project presented clearly, free of grammatical errors, and in a manner that connects with the audience?
4. Graphics/Visual Aids: Were appropriate graphics used to help explain and reinforce the topic?
5. Clarity of Responses to Questions: Did the presenter answer questions with explanations and elaboration?

Undergraduate and Graduate Artistic Displays

1. Knowledge/Proficiency of Subject/Discipline: Did the presenter demonstrate knowledge/proficiency in their project?
2. Effective Use of Methods or Medium: Did presenter use appropriate methods or medium for the study?
3. Effectiveness/Organization of Presentation: Is the project presented clearly, free of grammatical errors, and in a manner that connects with the audience?
4. Graphics/Visual Aids: Were appropriate graphics used to help explain and reinforce the topic?

Symposium awards are distributed based on scoring in each presentation category. The presentation categories are:

• Undergraduate Oral Presentations
