You know this voice intimately. It whispers that you're not re ady to raise your rates. It insists you need one more certification before you're "qualified enough." It holds you back from the bold visibility you r business desperately needs.\n\nYour clients hear it too—paralyzed by i mposter syndrome despite impressive credentials\, procrastinating on dream s that matter\, doubting themselves at every turn.\n\nWe've tried the quic k fixes: the affirmations that ring hollow\, the mindset tips that fade by Tuesday\, the surface-level strategies that leave the real problem untouc hed and growing stronger in the shadows.\n\nThis session reveals a differe nt path—one that doesn't just quiet the critic temporarily\, but transfo rms it entirely. From the enemy whispering failure into your foundation\, to the ally calling you toward something bigger.\nLearning objectives\nLea rning Objective 1: Understand the full impact of the inner critic\n\nLearn ing Objective 2: Discover what drives common inner critic issues.\n\nLearn ing Objective 3: Create a strategy for dealing with negative self-talk\nCC Es: .75 core competencies\nMeet the Host\n[box]\nPaul Boehnke\, PCC\, ELI- MP\nPaul Boehnke\, sought after speaker\, author and certified life coach helps coaches and entrepreneurs become more effective by clearing the fog of doubt\, self-criticism and overthinking that prevents them from having their greatest impact.\n\nAs a classical musician\, Paul Boehnke stumbled on a unique process that not only helped his performances but could easily be applied to taming the negative thoughts of his inner critic. Then he r ealized this process not only works for him but works for everyone\, music ian or not.\n\nIn his book\, "Thoughts On Demand: Turn Negative Self-Talk into Unstoppable Confidence" he shares the process that he uses to help cl ients transform that little voice in their heads that argues for their lim itations into a champion of their potential instead. [/box]\n\n*By attend ing ICFGA events and programs in person or virtually\, you hereby grant yo ur voluntary consent that your likeness or image\, captured by photo or vi deo\, or your voice captured by recording\, may be used for promotional an d archival purposes in print\, video and online\, or in any other format\, without notice to you.
