You will learn the necessary tactics to optimise high-performance and meet organisational objectives while going through significant disruption.

Self-doubt is bittersweet. It is the barrier between you and your success, but without it you wouldn’t challenge yourself. It is something everyone experiences at some point on their leadership journey. The key to overcoming self-doubt is to equip yourself with the essential tools to anticipate, prepare, and respond effectively.

In the transitional environment of Local Government, you are valued for your ability to withstand challenges and uncertainty. To manage this, the fundamental success factor is to have a firm understanding of your emotions and how they impact performance. Dealing with self-doubt is the first step to developing a resilient mindset, which in turn develops strong emotional intelligence and allows you to lead with greater influence and effectiveness.

This workshop will look into the mechanics behind self-doubt and will unlock your capability to work with and overcome self-criticism.

The mechanics of self-doubt • Examine the different elements of self-doubt • Understand how self-doubt can sabotage your leadership capability • Recognise the areas in your life that influence self-criticism

Encourage self-belief • How to work with the critical voice in your head • Rewire your thinking to overcome self-doubt • Project confidence to survive uncertainty

Find feedback in failure • Translate obstacles into opportunity • Develop a more reliable bounce-back tactic • Don’t let fear get in the way of purpose

Tools and tactics to combat imposter syndrome • Celebrate your wins

• Understand the power of perspective

• Be bold and believe in your abilities
