Workshop: One of the biggest roadblocks for professionals is how hard they are on themselves.

Research suggests that a strong inner critic leads to procrastination, anxiety, and burnout, while self-compassion is the key to resilience and productivity.
This interactive workshop takes a scientific, evolutionary perspective on the inner critic to uncover how the inner critic was created, what purpose it serves, and how we can transform harsh judgments into wise discernments.

Learning Objectives
❉ Understand what happens in the body and brain when you criticize yourself or others.
❉ Learn how to motivate yourself to achieve your highest goals without resorting to an inner critic.
❉ Discover why self-compassion helps protect from burn-out and bolsters resilience.
❉ Try out practices that you can take with you and use in the moment to transition from criticism to helpful observations or discernments.
❉ Master self-leadership techniques
