Dr. Valerie Young an internationally recognized expert on impostor syndrome. She has delivered her solution-oriented session at over 100 colleges and universities in the US, Canada, Japan, the UK, and Europe including MIT, Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Meharry Medical College, and Oxford. Valerie has also spoken at such diverse organizations as Google, Boeing, Intel, Facebook, IBM, Dell, Blizzard Entertainment, Rakuten, YUM! Brands, Microsoft, P&G, Deloitte, BP, McDonalds, Chrysler, Merck, NASA, the National Cancer Institute, and Society of Women Engineers.
