You Are Kenough: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome for Career Growth

Wordly Closed Captioning: https://attend.wordly.ai/join/JLBR-7990

Imposter syndrome stymies the career development of new and experienced librarians alike. It impedes librarians at all levels and in all aspects of employment, from hesitancy to speak up in meetings to applying for management positions. The impact of imposter syndrome may also disproportionately affect librarians from marginalized and underrepresented groups. As we endeavor to diversify the profession and with opportunities for career transitions at an all-time high, being knowledgeable about imposter syndrome is important for us all. Hear from three librarians who made recent career changes into different legal sectors. They will share what prompted their mid-career changes, how they manage(d) imposter syndrome in their new roles, and offer tips for successful career growth.

Target Audience:

Because the panel of speakers will be employed and experienced in varied sectors of law librarianship (law firms, academic, government, and information providers), any law librarian who is considering growth in the profession will benefit from this program.
