    Fire Your Narrator! Rewriting Inner Stories for External Success

    Crafting your future success story starts with the ones you tell yourself. That’s because of all the characters in your story, your narrator is the most influential. In this introspective and humorous luncheon program, participants will identify 10 types of unhelpful narrators and learn how to “rewrite” outdated or unhelpful internal storylines.

    Are you a critic? A ruminator? A people-pleaser? Valerie Gordon will help leaders understand why you say things to yourself you’d never say to another person and how to turn down the volume on an overly critical, questioning or doubting inner voice.
