Webinar
Shearman & Sterling hosted the webinar "Is Imposter
Syndrome Even Real?" on November 30, 2021.
The session discussed "imposter syndrome," also
known as perceived fraudulence, which has gotten a lot of attention
in recent years. Many high-achieving people struggle with the
feeling that their success is somehow a mistake, rather than a
deserved result of their hard work—a phenomenon which has
been said to disproportionately affect women. This fireside
chat asked: "How valid is that claim?"
The speakers discussed why the concept of "imposter
syndrome" should be scrutinized and shared their advice for
anyone who may be questioning his or her success.
Speakers
Sara N. Raisner, Counsel – Shearman & Sterling,
Currently on Secondment
Ewa M. Abrams, General Counsel – Kering Americas
