Denise Jacobs - Banish Your Inner Critic: Silence the Voice of Self-doubt to Unleash Creativity and Do Your Best Work

The Inner Critic is the main source of our biggest blocks to perform at our best. Our inner critic is the force behind our fears of being judged and criticized, highly critical self-talk, feeling like our ideas aren't good enough, and committing “ideacide.” Fortunately, we possess three mental power tools that, in combination, help stop the inner critic in its tracks. Making a commitment to silencing your inner critic will help you to get unstuck, do your best work, and channel your creativity as a force for positive change in the world as a contributor, collaborator, and leader.  We'll talk about how to:

• Identify voice of self-sabotage in your head and learn where it comes from.
• Employ the 3 mental power tools that will enable you to silence your inner critic.
• Free yourself from comparisons, fear of being judged, high self-criticism, feeling like you're not enough, and release the habits of believing you're not creative and second-guessing and killing your ideas.
• Transform your self-talk into a tool for success.
• Start embracing your expertise and share your brilliance with the world.
