Wellbeing in Academia: Perfectionism and Imposter Syndrome

All University of Auckland doctoral candidates are warmly invited to attend this webinar hosted by Dr Desiree Dickerson in partnership with the School of Graduate Studies.

We argue that our perfectionism drives us to great heights, to excel, and to maintain our edge. We rarely stop to see the costs it carries. Imposter syndrome distorts the way we see ourselves, our performance, and our capabilities. Both reflect our doubts and fears – fear of being judged, fear of failing, fear of not being good enough, fear of not belonging. They’re the product of distorted thinking patterns. Thinking patterns that we can change.

Although aimed at doctoral candidates, research masters students and supervisors are welcome to attend.

PLEASE REGISTER WITH YOUR UNIVERSITY OF AUCKLAND EMAIL ADDRESS. A zoom link will be sent to UoA registrants two days prior to the event.
