    Fireside Chat: Turn Your Inner Critic Into Your Biggest Cheerleader

    May 3, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

    Tuesday, May 3, 12:00 - 1:00 pm CDT - ONLINE

    We've all got that inner voice, that critical bully who berates us when we make a mistake, chides us when we aren’t looking or feeling our best, teases us sarcastically when we decide to expand ourselves in any way that might be beyond our current comfort zone. Join the Professional Women's Club of Chicago and Debbie Pickus, Founder and CEO of Team Fireball, Inc. for a Fireside Chat on how to turn your inner critic into your biggest cheerleader. The goal of this program is to create awareness around this inner critic voice so that we can recognize it, flip the switch on it and have it become the best cheerleader we could ever have.

You'll learn how to recognize hardwired beliefs from your past holding you back, use neuroscientific tools to reshape the way you connect, and create deeper, more authentic connections at work and home.
