Webinar #3: Fake It Till You Become It: Confidence, Credibility & Career Growth

Ever feel like you're one bold move away from being "found out"? You’re not alone. Imposter syndrome affects even the most successful professionals—but it doesn’t have to hold you back. In this energizing session, you’ll learn how to build authentic confidence by taking action: from asking for informational interviews and expanding your network, to developing the habits and work ethic of the person you aspire to be.

Discover how to reframe self-doubt, cultivate a growth mindset, and strategically “fake it” in a way that fuels real learning, real relationships, and real results.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognize the signs of imposter syndrome and learn strategies to reframe limiting self-beliefs.
  • Identify practical ways to grow your confidence through intentional actions, habits, and relationship-building.
  • Learn how to seek out mentors, initiate informational interviews, and model the mindset of the professional you want to become.

Kirsten Machi, CMP, Founder and COO, Association Management Solutions (AMS) 

Kirsten’s career took an unexpected turn over 25 years ago when the company she worked for was sold, leaving her with a pink slip and a new perspective. Instead of dwelling on the change, she teamed up with two trusted colleagues, and together they launched Association Management Solutions, LLC (AMS) in 1997. With no prior business ownership experience but plenty of determination, they turned their vision into a thriving company offering association management, meeting and event planning, and software development.

Today, AMS employs 45 talented staff members and serves over 20 clients with a stellar reputation for excellence. Boasting a 96% employee retention rate and 95% client retention rate, Kirsten and her team pride themselves on their positive work culture and outstanding service.
