Belonging After Achievement: Moving Through Imposter Syndrome
Belonging After Achievement: Moving Through Imposter Syndrome
We're glad to share that we'll be co-hosting this one with the Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance (H4A), a fellow Harvard Shared Interest Group.
This session focuses on imposter syndrome, belonging, and self-trust after achievement. Even after major accomplishments, many of us still carry quiet questions about whether we are qualified, capable, or truly belong—questions that can follow us into careers, graduate school, leadership roles, and other rooms we worked hard to enter.
Alexis M. Murillo (HGSE '23) is a first-generation Harvard alumna, education leader, and advocate for historically and systematically excluded learners. Drawing on her own path through elite academic and professional spaces, she will lead an honest conversation about why self-doubt persists even after real accomplishment.
Designed for Harvard alums who are first-generation or part of communities that are underrepresented in the workplace, this session will offer practical tools for recognizing self-doubt, challenging perfectionism, and building confidence without waiting to feel fully ready.
Thursday, July 16, 6:00–7:00 p.m. ET via Zoom. Open to all Harvard alums.Zoom
