From Adversary to Ally: Coaching the Inner Critic

Regardless of the type of coaching we do, we all run into the brick walls built by that voice in our head that says we’re not good enough in one way or another. We experience it in our business as it:

• prevents us from powerfully building our business
• has us wondering if we have what it takes
• has us believing one more certification or course is what we need
• keeps us from charging what we’re actually worth

On the inside it shows up as:
• lacking confidence
• feeling like an imposter
• procrastination and confusion

In organizations it often shows up as:
• doing things the same way over and over again
• a feeling of protectiveness around our position/role,
• fear about whatever changes are forced on us
