*IMPOSTER SYNDROME HOLDING YOU BACK? DEFINING SUCCESS AND OVERCOMING
SELF-DOUBT FOR LIBRARY PROFESSIONALS *
*Melanie Parlette-Stewart, Sajni Lacey *
*Thursday, July 13 | 2 - 3 PM ET *
Have you ever felt like a fraud? Or that you didn’t have enough experience
or knowledge to succeed in your job? There is no denying the existence of
imposter syndrome in countless disciplines and professional practices (just
Google it). Feelings of imposter syndrome are common in the modern
workplace, including in libraries and other information settings. In this
webinar we will use personal experience and research to explore imposter
syndrome through the lens of library professionals. So what’s to blame?
We’ll talk about competition in the job market, burnout rates, social media
and the need for non-traditional skills in a dynamic field. Attendees will
have the opportunity to examine and develop strategies for managing
imposter syndrome and will leave with tips and tools for managing imposter
syndrome.

WITH WORK AND PERSONAL STRESS IN THE LIBRARY *
*Diana Krawczyk *
*Thursday, August 10 | 1 - 2 PM ET *
This session will review the current research about mindfulness and
meditation, focusing specifically on information and techniques discussed

“Mindfulness for Librarians: Handling Stress and Thriving Under Pressure”
with Richard Moniz and Martin House; and the “Mindfulness and Self

and your personal life and many professionals are using this as means to
support themselves in difficult situations.
