Inner Critic Inner Success

Inner Critic Inner Success straddles the worlds of business and self-help in a way that's bursting with smarts yet is full of soul. It's a guide to finding the sweet spot in life where you can hold both success and doubt in a way that feels actionable and spacious instead of pointless and stuck. This book helps you capitalize on the dynamic and powerful relationship between critic and success. With attention and awareness, you'll become adept at seeing the dynamics of how success and doubt play off each other on a daily basis. You'll begin to transform that negative Inner Critic voice into a beam of light that spotlights your most cherished hopes, values and strengths. It challenges you to define success in a radical new way - on YOUR terms (versus what society, culture and business dictate) and from the perspective of how you feel about success not just how you think.

BOOK REVIEWS "Simply 'acting' more confident has limited women at best, and made them feel inauthentic at worst. But Inner Critic takes a close look at self-defeating voices and uses them to achieve authentic career success. Feels like a one-on-one coaching process. This book will help students, employees, entrepreneurs and executives alike take charge of achieving their own definition of success." -- Caroline Simard, PhD, Associate Director, Stanford School of Medicine Office of Diversity and Leadership and STEM diversity consultant.
