THIS EVENT IS FULLY BOOKED

Stop Settling for the Mediocrity of ‘OK’ So You Can Really Enjoy Your Life for a Change

By Dr Shoshana Garfield, Executive Psychologist, Inner Wisdom Ltd.

Overview:

Are you a professional woman seeking to have a fulfilling and meaningful career? Do you sometimes feel less than 100% of your best due to personal, professional or emotional challenges? Did you know that feeling ‘OK’ is actually holding you back?

Three Key Challenges for Women’s Job Satisfaction

1. Many smart women understand the professional importance of emotional intelligence, but stop at being aware of what they are feeling without effectively dealing with those uncomfortable feelings. Unresolved difficult emotions = undermined decision-making.
2. Most women are well clued up on self-development, leadership and strategic planning information, but putting into practice what we think we ‘should’ may feel depressing or overwhelming.
3. Often women have accepted that feeling OK (translation: “feeling an acceptable level of stressed and unhappy”) (changed from crap) is a part of their everyday reality and just do their best to plough through the day, But what if ‘OK’ is actually mediocre rather than good enough (and is mediocre ever really good enough)?

From this session you will be inspired to change your definition of ‘OK’ forever, find the solutions to these challenges and discover sustainable ways to be at your best most of the time. Your colleagues may well be drawn to you for inspiration.

Learning Objectives:
