Leadership: Self-doubts into Self-Beliefs

Being a leader can take you into vulnerable places - the unfamiliar, high expectations and high visibility, with everyone looking to you for guidance in the big moments. It is natural for doubts to creep in, including the echoes of past knock-backs, put-downs, pressures, stereotyping and internalised oppression.

Description

Join Vanessa Boon, The Joyful Disruptor and author of The Imposter Phenomenon and Turning Self-Doubts to Self-Beliefs chapter of the Amazon bestseller Professional Leadership. Learn self-belief techniques for you, and the team you are nurturing; free people from the doubts that hold them back to unlock their full potential. Participants enjoy the refreshingly engaging, supportive and interactive style on this topic, building up the confidence to apply deepened insights and practical tools. You will benefit from two decades of personal development and oppression-disrupting inclusion expertise, the collective learning from facilitating courageous conversations with thousands of people on this topic and a powerful experience that stays with you long after the training.  

3 key takeaways:  

  • Identifying the doubts – tuning in to what your ‘inner critic’ or imposter voice is saying, and assessing the credibility of the source  
  • Challenging the doubts – ways to disrupt False Evidence Appearing Real (F.E.A.R) and develop evidence-based self-beliefs
