Alliance of Women: Am I Good Enough? A Candid Conversation on Imposter Syndrome in Workers' Compensation

In an industry where experience is everything and expertise is worn like armor, it’s easy to feel like the only one who’s uncertain. Whether you’re new to workers’ comp or decades in, the quiet fear of not measuring up to your peers can erode confidence and create isolation, even in a room full of colleagues.
This panel offers a candid look at what it feels like to question your value in comparison to others. It unpacks how internal narratives, industry expectations, and even well-meaning feedback can deepen feelings of professional inadequacy. Through shared stories and strategies, panelists explore how to shift from silent self-doubt to self-trust - and how to see your own path as valid and worthy, even when it doesn’t look like everyone else’s.
