Upcoming Event
The next meeting will take place Friday, Jan. 27, from 12 to 1 p.m. David Chesire, PhD, director for the Center for Healthy Minds and Practice and an associate professor of surgery for the UF College of Medicine – Jacksonville will be presenting on imposter syndrome. Imposter syndrome, sometimes referred to as perceived fraudulence, occurs when an individual has feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence that are persistent despite one’s education, experience and other notable accomplishments. January’s meeting will teach attendees about imposter syndrome, how to overcome the feelings associated with it and ways to improve one’s overall emotional well-being, both personally and professionally.
