    14:30 - 15:30Navigating Imposter Syndrome: Breaking Free From Self-Doubt
    Have you ever experienced a creeping feeling of self-doubt or felt that your professional accomplishments are undeserved?

In this leadership workshop, we'll unpack imposter syndrome, hear from panelists from the payments ecosystem who will share their personal experiences and learn how to navigate it throughout your career, followed by a discussion among participants.

    16:00 - 17:00Embracing Tomorrow's Workforce: A Workshop on the Multigenerational Workforce
    A sprawling age range in today's workforce leaves employers trying to balance hiring strategies, employee benefit decisions and workplace culture. From emerging opportunities to generational insights, this interactive workshop will explore the impact of Gen X, Y and Z on the workforce today, so you are equipped to accommodate them all equitably in your business' future. Social and economic disruption, a global pandemic and historically low unemployment rates have shifted life priorities and changed what work means for all these groups - often in different ways. That makes generational sentiments in the workplace worth re-examining.
