The honesty in your team will never exceed the mercy you show yourself.
Most of us have a voice that speaks up the moment we fall short. It is fast, specific, and harsher than anything we would say to another person. We rarely question it, and almost never say it out loud.
This workshop meets that voice directly. It is experiential, not a lecture. We begin with the critic itself, its exact words, its tone, the way it treats you. The gap that first encounter reveals, between how we treat others and how we treat ourselves, is where the work begins.
From there we meet a different voice. Through a short guided visualization you will encounter a steadier, more compassionate version of yourself, and hear what it says about the moment you are hardest on yourself. Then the question this room is here for: how does the way you speak to yourself shape the way you lead? A leader who allows themselves mistakes builds a team that can admit them. Self-compassion, the research suggests, is not going soft. It is infrastructure.
You will leave with a felt sense of both voices, and one small thing you made to keep. Everything is an invitation, and you can pass on any step.
