The Self-Compassion 101 Course

Perhaps one of the greatest obstacles to success - individually and organizationally - is the Self-Critical Voice. That incessant hum going on in our heads that constantly evaluates and ranks other people and ourselves.  And when that voice is directed inwardly, we can really do a number on ourselves.

Some examples of that ongoing hum?  (and they might sound familiar)... 

  • “I’m too much”

  • I’m not enough”

  • “If only others really knew”,

  • “How are they judging me?”

  • “Am I an imposter?”

These ruminations can take up tremendous energy and attention and, over time, can corrode efficiency and drain organizational energy.

When we react from this small, contracted place, caught in self-judgment, we’re cut off from our full intelligence and creativity, trapped in limiting beliefs and distorted actions. Imagine if your organization were freed from the collective self-critical voice, how much more energy and creativity would be released.

I support organizations and their members by helping cultivate the skill of Self-Compassion. Through the Self-Compassion 101 course, attendees learn how to loosen the grip of the self-critical voice.  And when the self-judgment lifts, we begin to see ourselves and others in new and creative ways.

Research shows that staff with greater self-compassion can lead to clearer communications, more effective action, and smoother-running teams.
