"Fear of Success" – is it still with us? February 8, 2011

Speaker: Phoebe Schnitzer
In the 1960's, Matina Horner proposed the concept "fear of success" to explain why so many women anticipated negative consequences of competitive achievement, while men did not. Is fear of success still meaningful today in 2011? Combining formal presentation with structured discussion activities, this workshop will offer an opportunity to assess the relevance of "fear of success" to women and men today.
