Where does the voice of your inner critic come from? Discovering your origin of the voice inside provides a tangible way to begin healing and find your way forward. Learning to reframe your mindset to use the tools that trauma and your negative experiences taught you, will help tap into your leadership skills hidden within. Today we are speaking with Deborah Ancona, author of "X-Teams: How to Build Teams That Lead, Innovate, and Succeed" and also a contributor to multiple articles on leadership and self-awareness. Join us as we discuss generational ghosts, using your past experiences to propel you to new heights, and how the road to healing is not simple but worth it.
You’ll discover:
- How familial dynamics affect your worldview and how to reframe it
- How to create a new voice of positivity from the negative
- How to balance success and avoid perfectionism
- How finding role models that inspire you will help you craft the life you want
