Your mind can be your best friend or worst enemy. Saboteurs, inner critic, imposter syndrome are the various labels used to described voices in your head that generate stress and negative emotions and can get in the way with how you handle work and life’s challenges. They sabotage your potential for both happiness, performance and wellbeing. Strengthening the part of your brain that focus on your potential and quietening the part that sabotages you is a skill that can be learnt.
The session will introduce 7 of the most common self-sabotaging voices and help participants to understand more about their own. Positive Intelligence techniques help participants start to quieten the negative chatter and unlock more potential. When practiced regularly they can help people rebound from setbacks, recover quickly and focus on potential rather than pitfalls!
The various personas include: -
The Hyper achiever
The Judge
The Pleaser
The Victim
The Hyper Rational
The Controller
The Perfectionist
