Victoria Women in Tech Meetup: Imposter Syndrome Talk & Discussion
Join us for our monthly Women in Tech Meetup🍞
Tired of tech networking events that are 90% men, where you are forced to qualify yourself? Tired of not having your voice heard? Toast's member meetups are the opposite of your usual tech meetup! Connect with women and non-binary folks in tech who meet you where you are.
What to Expect:
You’re More Capable Than You Think: An Interactive Conversation About Imposter Syndrome
Ever wondered if you’re really as capable as others think you are? You’re not alone! Imposter syndrome can affect even the most accomplished women in tech and STEM, leading to self-doubt, perfectionism and missed opportunities.
Join Sue Maitland, Professional Certified Coach (PCC), speaker and former IT professional, for an interactive conversation drawing on her 20+ years in tech and her own experience of feeling like an imposter. You’ll:
- Recognize how imposter syndrome shows up in your life and career
- Explore the possible root causes of your self-doubt through a guided reflection
- Discover practical ways to quiet your inner critic and build confidence
- Identify one small step to stop holding yourself back
Expect personal stories, guided reflection and open conversation rather than a traditional presentation.
Format: Networking, a 30-minute interactive talk, Q&A and discussion, then more time to connect.
