Quiet Your Inner Critic Without Losing Your Edge
with Lisa Abramson
Many of us hold the false belief that if we aren’t hard on ourselves, we’ll be lazy and unproductive. Yet a loud inner critic leads to the feeling of never being good enough and a stressful loop where we push ourselves harder and harder, but end up feeling less and less satisfied. We believe we need a demanding inner critic to motivate us, but research shows otherwise. Left unchecked, this demanding cycle of criticism leads to burnout and stops us from reaching our potential. The good news is that this critical voice can be tamed, and there is deep wisdom within each of us that can be accessed when we learn to be on our own side. You will walk away from this session with a better understanding of the origins of your inner critic and how to quiet it so you can feel more satisfied while moving towards your goals.

Lisa Abramson
Franklin, TN, USA
Lisa Abramson is an executive coach, keynote speaker, best selling author and mindfulness teacher. Before becoming a coach, I worked as a marketing exec at a tech startup in the Bay Area. While working at this mobile advertising company, I had a nagging feeling that I was supposed to be doing more with my life —even though I was great at my job and kept getting promotions, I felt like I was leaving the best of my talents at home each day. Quitting my well paid job to become a coach was the first of many courageous acts to come. Since then, I’ve helped more than 25,000 people increase their mental resiliency though my online programs and have shared my insights at TEDx, Google, Microsoft, Cisco, The Stanford Graduate School of Business and in Forbes, NPR, The New York Times, Fast Company, and more. My well-loved guided meditations that started out being recorded in my “cloffice” (a closet-office) have now been enjoyed for over 12 million minutes around the globe. I believe with my whole heart that you deserve to be unburdened by self-doubt so you can be more intentional with your time, make a bigger impact, and share your gifts with the world. I graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN and was born and raised in Menlo Park, CA.
