Welcome to Manufacturing for WomenKEYNOTE

Overcoming the Impostor Syndrome

PANELISTS

Overcoming Barriers & Generating Opportunities

Welcome to the first ever Manufacturing for Women conference. This year’s conference was designed to look at the obstacles that powerful women face and the opportunities that those obstacles can generate. “Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much.” When steel is twisted together, the strength becomes greater and unbreakable. The same can be said by the merging of strengths and uniting as

one in manufacturing. We hope you enjoy the event and look forward to getting to know you.

According to Scientific America, "The Impostor Syndrome

is a pervasive feeling of self-doubt, insecurity, or

fraudulence, despite often overwhelming evidence to the

contrary. It strikes smart, successful individuals." It’s that

feeling of “Oh, that good thing that happened? That was

just dumb luck. I was in the right place at the right time.”

How many of you have felt like this? That is Imposter

Syndrome. Sassi will share her ten-point plan for

banishing internal doubts about your accomplishments.

Sassi’s full bio can be found on MAMstrong.org.
