Imposter Syndrome Coping Strategies & Inclusive Leadership, How To Lead and Retain Your Own

Description

The event features Karen Hughes, the General Manager for the UK and Ireland at Stryker, who expresses her gratitude to the BOA and the event organizers. She engages with the audience, introducing panelists Joanna Maggs, a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, and Katherine Anne Byam, who acts as facilitator. A significant theme throughout the session is the promotion of diversity and inclusion in the medical field, particularly in orthopedics.



Katherine Byam challenges participants by encouraging them to engage actively with each other, emphasizing the importance of creating an inclusive culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Discussions lead to biases experienced in the workplace, how to identify them, and strategies for addressing them.



Both Karen and Joanna share personal reflections on their biases, how they are working to overcome them, and the importance of understanding diverse perspectives in a work environment. The dialogue touches on self-care, boundaries, and the responsibilities of being an ally in the workplace.



Towards the end, audience members contribute their insights, discussing their experiences and the mutual benefits of fostering open communication and understanding within the medical community. The overall tone is reflective, encouraging open conversations about diversity, the challenges of bias, and the need for mutual support in professional environments.
