At Lawline, our commitment is to foster an inclusive culture where every individual feels empowered to thrive professionally. Recently, our MERG (Minority Employee Resource Group) hosted a thought-provoking safe space session in honor of Women's History Month, focusing on creating a safe environment for women in the workplace.
We gathered to tackle the pressing issue of imposter syndrome, with a special focus on its impact on women. Our dynamic panel, featuring Michele Richman - Chief People Officer, Michelle DeGonzague - Customer Support Manager, and Frank Rodriguez - Web Developer and an ally, shared their insights and experiences.
Throughout the session, participants engaged in lively discussions, exchanged personal stories, and gained new perspectives. It was an opportunity to connect, grow, and inspire one another. Below are anonymous quotes from attendees during the event;
Imposter syndrome, that nagging feeling of self-doubt, often disproportionately affects women in the workplace. However, by coming together and sharing our experiences, we can combat these feelings and empower each other to reach our full potential.
As we reflect on the MERG Women's History Month Safe Space Session, let's carry forward the lessons learned and continue to champion diversity, equity, and inclusion at Lawline and beyond. Together, we can create a workplace where every woman feels supported, valued, and empowered to be the best version of herself, professionally and personally.
