As creatives there is a degree of self-doubt we dabble with that is professional, base-level self-doubt. It runs parallel to the empathy we hold for our users and audience. But what happens when that negative voice starts to over-power your own? In today's episode, we’re unpacking self-doubt and negative self-talk, what they are, and how they affect your decision making and warp your perception of reality. We’ll also learn three techniques you can practice to accomplish your goals, speak to yourself kindly, and shush your inner-critic when their voice overpowers your own.

“Thank you.” It’s a simple phrase but often, it can be left unsaid in the workplace. You’re happy to take care of day-to-day tasks, it’s just you or your team doing your job. This is why you were hired. So why should you be thanked for every project you complete, product you launch, or successful presentation? Well, the research is clear: gratitude is good for you. Today we’ll learn how gratitude or a lack of it, impacts team dynamics, productivity and your mood. And we’ll also discuss how you can express gratitude at work (without being creepy) and become your own hype-person if you don’t already have one in your corner.
