You Belong Here:

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Owning Your Success

Tammy Moskites, Speaker - CEO CyAlliance and Career CISO

Gaylord Hotel - Nashville

In the high-stakes world of cybersecurity, professionals are trained to spot threats, mitigate risk, and lead through uncertainty. But one of the most overlooked threats to innovation and leadership isn't external — it's internal. Imposter syndrome quietly affects even the most accomplished cyber leaders, eroding confidence, stalling growth, and silencing voices that should be shaping the future of the industry.

This empowering session — based on the book "You Belong Here: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Owning Your Success" — shines a light on the hidden narrative that tells high performers they’re not good enough, smart enough or experienced enough to lead. Tammy Moskites, a globally recognized cybersecurity executive and speaker, brings a candid, no-fluff perspective on how imposter syndrome shows up in technical, high-pressure environments—and how to disrupt it.

Through powerful storytelling, real-world insights, and actionable strategies, attendees will learn how to:
* Identify and challenge imposter-driven thoughts and behaviors
* Reframe perfectionism and self-doubt into confidence and credibility
* Lead authentically while building inclusive, high-performing teams

This session is a bold call to action: to stop second-guessing, start owning your success, and lead without limits. Because in a field defined by disruption, confidence isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. And you? You Belong Here.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the hidden signs of imposter syndrom, plus the root causes of self-doubt and how they show up in leadership, career transitions and high-pressure environments. Then develop practical strategies to reframe negative self-talk and build a more confident internal narrative.

• Develop tools to break the cycle of perfectionism and comparison that fuels imposter thinking, and understand how to build a positive feedback loop that reinforces self-worth and celebrates authentic success.

• Discover ways to lead and mentor others while creating space for vulnerability, confidence, and inclusion.
