How to Set Your Self Free and Be More You with Michelle Minnikin - 301

The definition of ‘self-expression’ is the expression of one's feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through words, choices or actions, especially in writing, art, music, or dance.

Sounds easy doesn’t it? 

 

The trouble is that we are all so bogged down with messages about how we should look, think, speak, and act; that it can make it difficult to let go of expectations and simply be ourselves… and for women this conditioning has many additional layers!

 What about you? 

How fully self-expressed are you?

Do you want to speak on stage but feel like an imposter positioning yourself as an expert in your niche?

Maybe you do speak, but on stage you find yourself playing safe, or trying to be what you think a presenter should be instead of sharing your personality with the audience?

Well, my guest today will be sharing some ideas to help you to be more you. 

Michelle Minnikin is a  Chartered Organisational Psychologist, speaker coach, and author of Good Girl Deprogramming.

For many years Michelle struggled under the weight of expectations, playing small, putting herself last and being a ‘good girl’, without even realising she was doing it. 

Eventually she discovered she was suffering from ‘good girl conditioning’!

In this show she shines a light on what that is and how it has disempowered women for years, decades, and generations. 

And whether you’re a man or a woman, who is burdened by how you are told you should be … you will get tips in this show, for how to deprogram that conditioning and set yourself free!

 

What you’ll discover:

• How Michelle became a rebel and why
