2026-03-27 09:00 - 12:00 | United Way of Blount County, 1615 East Broadway Avenue, Maryville, TN, 37804
Even the most capable leaders can question their worth—especially in mission-driven work where the stakes feel deeply personal. In this interactive session, we’ll explore the roots of imposter syndrome and the irrational beliefs that can hold us back. Through guided reflection, evidence-based tools, and shared stories, participants will learn how to reframe self-doubt, own their impact, and lead unapologetically in service of their mission. Whether you’re new to leadership or a seasoned executive, Stephanie Jones’s workshop offers a liberating space to shed limiting narratives and embrace confident, values-based leadership.
Lunch provided.
Cost: $10.00 per participant
