How To Handle Criticism with Poise and Grace

In a society that pushes the idea that a woman’s success hinges on her being “likeable,” criticism can feel like a red-alarm threat to every area of our lives.  

Whether this threat consciously registers or not, you must develop skills to deal with criticism. Otherwise it’s common to default into self-defeating behaviors like shutting down, lashing out or becoming passive aggressive. 

This talk offers immediate tools to help you manage disempowering interactions from a place of power, confidence, and poise.

Creating Confidence when You're the "First" or "Only" in the Room

Leading yourself and others can be difficult even before factoring in a pandemic, staffing shortages, budget reductions, and distributed teams.
