SUNDAY REWIND: Banish your inner critic

In product, being doubtful of our skills and having a lack of confidence in business decisions is common at work. In this Sunday Rewind, we look back to when Denise Jacobs, author of Banish your inner critic, asked us, what blocks us from doing our best work? Discover more insights in our Sunday Rewind series. 

In the opening keynote of #mtpcon San Francisco, Denise explained how our Inner Critic stands in the way of us fully accessing our own brilliance. Imagine a world where we were able to fully show up in our power and be who we truly are, without self-doubt. What would that look like?

To combat it Denise explained to first write down the negative things we tell ourselves on a regular basis. After doing this, it becomes easier to recognise when you are self-sabotaging your thoughts.

The potential for greatness is in all of us, but when our Inner Critic is present, it is like someone is snipping the buds off a new plant, and keeping it from growing. We have the power to banish that Inner Critic and grow to be fully magnificent. Banish your Inner Critic, step into your power, and change the world with your creations.
