The most important relationship you have is with yourself. We're conditioned to hear that as selfish but it's not. Psychologists like Kristin Neff, say self-compassion is the healthier way of relating to yourself in the face of setbacks and even the failings we bring on ourselves,than its' cousin, self-esteem. In fact, true narcissism is more connected to self-esteem than self-kindness. Thee audience leave this presentation knowing how self-esteem and self-compassion are different, why self-esteem hurts and 3 actionable steps to letting go in the B**** and being a better friend to themselves so they can get on with succeeding in their chosen lane.

It's critical we learn how to compute conflicts so we can do them WELL. And that relies on a particular response pattern. There are 4 steps that work powerfully for handling career conflict. And a secret 5th ingredient that we never do. The audience will leave this presentation knowing how to change the way their conflicts go and how they perform within them forever if they adopt this single, simple tactic.

Perseverance. Resilience. Grit. Commitment. All important values. Values that are critical to our success. I believe in these values to the point I don't think natural talent scores over these gritty contributors. But there is a darker side to perseverance. And it's a big problem no-one is talking about. The audience will leave this presentation having heard about the stories that blind us, what they can do to spot the signpost when they need to keep calm and think twice and how to use the Grit-or-Quit Indicator to help them decide whether it's right to employ girt or whether this is one of those times they should quit. Applies to entrepreneurs, leadership and careerists of all ages and stages.
