Do you want to understand better what holds you back from applying for a job, asking for a pay rise, or getting that business idea off the ground – and what you could do about it?
We aren’t all born knowing exactly what we should do with our lives and how to do it, but sometimes it seems like everyone else has it all sorted, and you’re the only one struggling. Well, that isn’t true. On this LinkedIn Live chat, Elizabeth Willetts of Investing in Women talks to Coach Dr Maria Evans about positive intelligence and how to stop your self-sabotaging behaviours.
Maria explains the theory behind positive intelligence and why we develop inner critic voices. She and Elizabeth explore why women seem to suffer more from a strong inner critical voice and how this could hold them back in the workplace. You’ll learn how to identify your own types of inner critic and what you can do to begin challenging them.
This informative discussion is an excellent reminder that working on your mental health is a marathon, not a sprint, and that compassion and mindfulness go a long way toward helping! If you enjoyed this LinkedIn Live, please share it with a friend.
