We’re excited to invite you to our next online panel event,  “How I Turned Self-Doubt Into Strength: Senior Women Speak Up,”  on November 13th at 11 AM.

Our members have told us that even the most successful individuals grapple with imposter syndrome as they advance in their careers and project confidence. This panel session, chaired by Women in PR committee member Charlie Mulock, will directly address this common issue, providing valuable insights and practical advice on converting self-doubt into a powerful source of strength.

During the 35-minute panel discussion, three PR industry leaders will share their distinctive career journeys, challenges, and successes and how they’ve overcome self-doubt. There will be a 10-minute Q&A at the end, during which we would love to hear your questions about this topic.
