Library Leadership Forum: Imposter Syndrome (Spoiler: It’s not just you.)
October 9, 1:00 PM – 1:50 PM | Virtual
About the Session
We are excited to bring Library Leadership Forum (LLF) to the MLA Conference! In keeping with the theme of “Supporting Each Other, Sustaining the Work,” our topic will be “Imposter Syndrome.” Spoiler: It’s not just you. How does “imposter syndrome” affect our work and affect us as professionals? What if “imposter syndrome” is far more institutionally insidious than we may have thought? How can we support ourselves and each other to be confident, authentic leaders?
Speakers
- Carol Jackson | Director of Outreach & Engagement | SELCO (Southeastern Libraries Cooperating)
- Stacey Hendren | Deputy Director of Public Services | Rochester Public Library
Learning Objectives
- Engage in thoughtful discussion around the topic of “Imposter Syndrome”
- Connect Minnesota library staff across library types to help build resilient networks
