Premise Health Licensed Professional Counselor Talks Imposter Syndrome
Megan Ashcroft, licensed professional counselor at Premise Health, recently spoke with worklife, a publication focused on covering how workplaces and workforces are transforming across all industries, about the impact of imposter syndrome on productivity.
