Who is this event intended for? For anyone looking to learn more about Imposter Syndrome. What is the benefit of attending? Learn from others who relate with Imposter Syndrome; hear their experiences and advice to overcome it.
Overview
Do you ever think:
“I don’t belong here, I’m not as capable as they think I am”... “I don’t deserve it, I’m just lucky”... “I'm never good enough, others are better”... “I’m a fraud, I’ll get found out”?
Imposter Syndrome is experienced by 70% of people and the feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy it promotes can hold us back from valuing our accomplishments and reaching our full potential.
Learn from others in the PSI Community who also associate with Imposter Syndrome. They will discuss the topic, give their own personal views and experiences and provide tips to beat it.

Joint PSI/EFSPI Visualisation SIG 'Wonderful Wednesday' Webinars

Each month a new dataset is provided from a clinical trial or other relevant example, and participants are invited to submit a graphic that communicates interesting and relevant characteristics of the data.
PSI Training Course: Effective Leadership – the keys to growing your leadership capabilities
This course will consist of three online half-day workshops. The first will be aimed at building trust, the backbone of leadership and a key to becoming effective. This is key to building a solid foundation.
The second will be on improving communication as a technical leader. This workshop will focus on communication strategies for different stakeholders and will involve tips on effective communication and how to develop the skills of active listening, coaching and what improv can teach us about good communication.
The final workshop will bring these two components together to help leaders become more influential. This will also focus on how to use Steven Covey’s 7-Habits, in particular Habits 4, 5 and 6, which are called the habits of communication.
The workshops will be interactive, allowing you to practice the concepts discussed. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. There will also be reflective time where you can think about what you are learning and how you might experiment with it.
Our monthly webinar series allows attendees to gain practical knowledge and skills in open-source coding and tools, with a focus on applications in the pharmaceutical industry. This month’s session, “Graphics Basics,” will introduce the fundamentals of producing graphics using the ggplot2 package.
