173 CBJ: How Your Inner Critic Holds You Back from Career Success

Do you have an inner critic? Likely, the answer is yes. We all have an inner critic...that voice that judges us relentlessly, and that for some reason, we tend to listen to. In this episode, guest and author Susan Peppercorn helps to explain how we can ditch that voice (or at least quieten it sometimes) in order to do what we really want to do in our careers and in our lives. Who is Susan Peppercorn? My guest today is an executive and career coach who has a passion for helping individuals thrive in their career. Having made four career changes herself, Susan knows what it's like to feel stuck in a job you hate as well as the self-recrimination that goes along with it. Frequently quoted, the NY Times, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, and U.S. World News Money are some of the publications that have tapped her for career advice. Susan transformed her career and developed a scientifically-validated approach to help others do the same that she teaches in her best-selling book Ditch Your Inner Critic at Work, and she's here today to share some tips with all of you.
