A DEVEX WEBINAR
Quieting your inner critic
  • Tags:
  • professional development, career change, job search

We all have that voice in our heads, the one that criticizes us and puts us down, the one that speaks to us more harshly than we would ever allow someone to speak to us in real life. 

This is the voice of self-doubt, the voice of the inner critic. 

Even the most seemingly self-confident people you know have a voice like this. And it often leaves us feeling doubtful about our careers, our job search, or our effectiveness at work – which means we don’t take action or we wish we felt more confident.

Executive coach Shana Montesol Johnson joins Devex for a conversation on how to quiet your inner critic. 


During the webinar, you will learn:
  • The impact of self-confidence on your career
  • Tools to recognize when your inner voice is spreading too much self-doubt
  • Tips to shift your self-reflection into action and effectiveness
Complimentary admission to this webinar is provided to Devex members with premium accountsIf you have a free Community Membership, you will be prompted to upgrade as part of your registration.
