Sound familiar?
You know what you want to do. The project, the conversation, the next step in your career. And just as you're about to move, a voice says: you're not ready yet. Who are you to do this? What if it doesn't work?
Most advice tells you to silence that voice or argue with it. Neither lasts. In my work with senior leaders and founders, what changes things is understanding what the inner critic is trying to protect you from, and giving it a better job.
This exercise walks you through exactly that.

Look behind it
What is your inner critic protecting you from, and what has that safety been costing you?

Anton Zemlyanoy
I'm a Sydney-based executive coach. Over 2,000 coaching hours, I've worked with senior leaders at organisations including Netflix, PwC, Morgan Stanley, Roche and Standard Chartered. The inner critic comes up in almost every engagement, at every level of seniority.
This exercise is the one I use with clients to start changing that relationship.
What participants say
This recording takes you through the same six-step exercise I run in my live workshops.
“This workshop allowed me to see my fears for what they were. Some were valid, some not. But importantly, once acknowledged they didn’t seem so scary, some didn’t even appear to be real.”
“The workshop offered me the right structure to explore my Inner Critic and come up with insights I didn’t have before. And most importantly - action steps.”
“Anton’s interactive workshop was very helpful to reflect on my own inner critics. … Anton’s empathic and engaged style created a very good learning atmosphere.”
