<html><body><p><font face="Arial">Mark your calendars to join us as we continue our Women of OpenStack speaker series on June 26, 2017. We will be joined by </font><b><font face="Arial">Major Hayden, principal architect at Rackspace, who will lead a discussion on impostor syndrome including how to identify it and how to overcome it. </font></b><br><br><font face="Arial">The OpenStack community is highly collaborative, fast-paced, and helpful. However, some new community members are overwhelmed with new terminology and detailed processes, especially those with impostor syndrome. They struggle with an internal battle where their confidence and competence are not aligned. Impostor syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that affects people from all backgrounds and all skill levels. They feel like their competence level is much lower than it really is and they feel this way on a regular basis. This can cause community members to become detached or feel incapable of providing meaningful contributions.</font><br><br><b><font size="4" face="Arial">Women of OpenStack</font></b><br><b><font size="4" face="Arial">26 June 2017</font></b><br><b><font size="4" face="Arial">2000 UTC, 4 PM EDT, 3 PM CDT, 2 PM MDT, 1 PM PDT</font></b><br><br><b><font face="Arial">Dial In: 1-203-277-8157 or </font></b><b><u><font face="Arial">866-619-0383 Participant: 7217256#</font></u></b><b><font face="Arial"> Leader 4018#</font></b><br><b><font size="4" face="Arial">webex URL: </font></b><a href="https://verizon2.webex.com/verizon2-en/e.php?MTID=m0e7ba518a2d4487bc0a78d00055f62e2"><b><u><font size="4" color="#0000FF" face="Arial">https://verizon2.webex.com/verizon2-en/e.php?MTID=m0e7ba518a2d4487bc0a78d00055f62e2</font></u></b></a><br><br><br><font face="Arial">If you are not able to join the discussion live, we will be posting a recording of it afterwards.
