Elevate: Dismantle Perfectionism, Beat Imposter Syndrome & Reclaim Your Voice

Presented by Sheila Vijeyarasa
A Workshop for Professionals Advancing Innovation in Healthcare

In the fast-moving world of medical research, healthcare innovation, and pharmaceutical development, the pressure to get things right can be overwhelming. Whether you are leading a clinical trial, managing a team, or supporting operations behind the scenes.

But perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and people pleasing often hold talented professionals back from speaking up, taking initiative, or setting boundaries. This costs energy, confidence, and creativity.

In this empowering 90-minute workshop, keynote speaker and former executive Sheila Vijeyarasa equips professionals across all levels, from admin teams to research leads, with the mindset and tools to overcome internal blocks, step into their strengths, and contribute with greater clarity and courage.
