Escape The Comparison Trap By Embracing Your Unique Leadership Journey

Featuring Guest Speaker, Topsie VandenBosch, LMSW

 

In the age of social media and constant comparison, it's easy to get caught up in measuring our success against others' highlight reels. But the truth is, every leadership journey is unique, and comparing yours to someone else's is a recipe for discouragement and self-doubt. In this powerful session, Topsie will share her struggles with the comparison trap and the mindset shifts that helped her escape it. You'll learn how to cultivate self-acceptance and conviction in your expertise, appreciate your unique path, and find fulfillment in your progress, regardless of what others are doing. 

After this session, participants will be able to…

  • Utilize techniques to combat negativity and imposter syndrome for         self-acceptance and confidence.
  • Understand how unapologetically utilizing your unique skills and             contributions makes you a better leader. 
  • Gain tips and tricks to help your teams foster a healthier, more             productive mindset.
