Why Maureen?

Keynote Speaker, Author, Chief Impostor Buster

When  the NASA Lewis Research Center hired me as a research engineer for the Propulsion Systems Laboratory, I thought, “They only hired me because they need more women.” I was filled with self-doubt.

The truth was that even though I wasn’t a straight-A student, I was a perfect fit for NASA. I wanted to be an engineer from the time I was a little girl. I loved math and science. In college, I had summer internships at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio where I fell in love with jet engines.

So, it made sense that NASA  hired me. I just didn’t believe it.

Terrified of failing, I worked harder than I thought possible. I believed if people saw my hard work, they wouldn’t notice I didn’t belong.

But with every project and promotion, that same fear snuck in. “I don’t belong here. I’m not as smart as everyone thinks I am.”

Only years later did I discover that millions of people suffer this same, self-doubt-fueled fear. It’s called Impostor Syndrome and it is killing creativity and stifling opportunities for individuals and organizations everywhere.

I dove into the topic and as a result of my research, my reflections, and my experience, YOU benefit! I show people all the time how Impostor Syndrome affects their lives, and how to escape its grip. I’ll share my insights so you don’t have to suffer with it as long as I did, despite having built a great reputation at NASA.
