    Title: Embracing Uncertainty, Empowering Excellence, and Shattering Imposter Syndrome


    Description: 

    Are you one who is often paralyzed by the all too familiar Imposter Syndrome? If so, you are not alone.  This phenomenon transcends age, success, gender, race, education, and profession. It’s that voice that undermines your achievements and potential, gently whispering to you that “You are a fraud,” even in the face of successful achievements.  Join us for an inspiring and transformative journey as we delve into the heart of Imposter Syndrome and emerge stronger, more confident, and ready to conquer the business world.


    About the Presenter: 

    Barb Smith is a former Division I college athlete, 30-year Division I college basketball coach, motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur, and advocate for all levels of leadership and teamwork. 

    Barb is the Founder of Courtside Leadership, an organization that promotes leadership, teamwork, and team dynamics. She has authored a book entitled, Beyond the Talent: Profile of a Winning Team, which details some of her research in building successful teams. 

    Barb is also the Founder/CEO of Find My Team, a company that partners with aspiring high school student-athletes, parents, and coaches and empowers them with the knowledge necessary to make the college athletic recruiting process a positive, proactive, and successful experience. 

    Barb majored in Health Education at The Ohio State University and earned her MBA in Organizational Behavior at Iona College in New York.
