Program Topic: Get Out of Your Own Way – Harness the Inner Critic to Create New Possibilities
Every ambitious woman knows the voice of the inner critic—the one that second-guesses decisions, minimizes success, and keeps you playing small or in reaction. In this talk, Brittany reframes that voice not as a problem to “fix,” but as powerful information you can work with. Drawing from yoga, psychology, and her book Dancing with Our Selves, she offers a simple framework to recognize when your inner critic has taken the lead and how to shift back into conscious choice. Attendees will walk away with practical tools they can use in real time (during tough conversations, high-stakes decisions, and the everyday moments) that shape their careers and lives.

Audience Takeaways:

1. Spot their inner critic’s patterns in real time—including perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning that quietly drive burnout.
2. Use a simple “Pause, Name, Choose” framework to interrupt default reactions and respond from clarity instead of fear.
3. Identify one concrete “new possibility” to act on within the next week, so the talk translates directly into meaningful change at work or at home.
