About Valerie Young

Valerie Young is co-founder of Impostor Syndrome Institute. An internationally recognized expert for four decades, she has delivered her Rethinking Impostor Syndrome(TM) program to over half a million people at such diverse organizations as Pfizer, Google, NASA, Harvard, Stanford, and Oxford. Young earned her doctoral degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where she helped found the Social Justice Education program, a forerunner to today's DE&I training. Although her early research focused on professional women--over half of whom were women of color--much of the original findings have proven applicable to anyone with impostor feelings. Her book has been reprinted in five languages.
