The event theme, Unleash Your Professional Confidence: Overcome Perfectionism & Imposter Syndrome, will inform attendees about the two types of perfectionism, how perfectionism impacts leadership and how to break free of perfectionism to become a better leader. Open to both women and men, the event will focus on perfectionism and how to lead with excellence and build confidence.

“While perfectionism can be a positive attribute, it can also negatively impact your leadership ability,” said Christina Spille, Pharmacy Director at Faith Community Pharmacy and Women’s Initiative Professional Series Committee Chair. “Perfectionism can actually hold us back, along with imposter syndrome. This is an important event to learn how we can overcome imposter syndrome and harness perfectionism to become more effective leaders and build confidence in our teams.”
