We are so grateful that the Experience Milwaukee at Wantable Cafe has invited us back for the third year in a row. This year’s theme is all about reframing and embracing imposter syndrome! We’ll socialize, schmooze, snack, drink, mingle, have a 45-minute panel discussion, and then back to all the fun stuff!
Panel Discussion: The R.E.A.L. Confidence™ Paradox: Why Imposter Syndrome is the Gateway to Fearless Leadership
Imposter syndrome shows up when we’re stretching into something bigger—new roles, new opportunities, new challenges. Too often, we mistake it as a weakness when in reality, it can be the signal that we’re on the edge of growth.
In this panel discussion, we’ll explore how reframing imposter syndrome can unlock the path to fearless leadership. Referencing the R.E.A.L. Confidence™ framework, our panelists will share stories of how they have embraced “imposter moments” to tackle challenges, build unwavering confidence, and lead fearlessly.
Attendees will walk away with a renewed sense of motivation, actionable strategies, and the new perspective to reframe “imposter moments” as stepping stones toward fearless leadership.

Join us for a lively evening of refreshments, desserts, and bubbly beverages while you mingle! And we’re still ironing out the details, but with a 5 year anniversary celebration included, we can guarantee it’ll be an evening to remember!
