00:00:08
the right person for such and such a professional mission
00:00:11
or not yet ready to go and defend your project and the management?
00:00:16
If you censor your impulses by doubting your capacities,
00:00:21
by putting off your achievements,
00:00:23
it is certainly because the inner critic will have had the last word.
00:00:28
So who is this voice,
00:00:30
How does it operate and above all,
00:00:33
how can one be more intelligent than it,
00:00:35
playing big as Tara Moore would say?
00:00:38
Have you ever heard the inner voice
00:00:41
that pushes you to play small,
00:00:43
the voice of playing small?
00:00:45
I like to ask my coaches,
00:00:47
what are the main improvements to be made in their department.
00:00:50
From a continuous improvement perspective,
00:00:53
it's a basic question.
00:00:55
What are your three recommendations
00:00:58
to improve workload distribution or improve customer relations
00:01:02
or for find more satisfaction in your work?
00:01:05
They always have ideas
00:01:07
and then very often when they have detailed the recommendations to
00:01:12
me and it's time to turn those recommendations into a goal,
00:01:17
my coaches often start to drag their feet.
00:01:21
but they tell me.
00:01:22
It seems that we are all born with the yes but.
00:01:27
We wallow in this yes but assertion to the point that it seems normal to us.
00:01:33
but there are so many obstacles that I won't be able to make it.
00:01:37
but I'm not the right person to do this.
00:01:40
we have aspects within us that whisper these yes buts
00:01:45
in our ears when they see us about to get excited on projects.
00:01:49
One of the yes but aspects
00:01:52
is that of the protector.
00:01:57
but it prefers to be called the protector.
00:01:59
It is there to make sure we don't
00:02:02
do things that are risky or emotionally uncomfortable.
00:02:05
It wants to protect us from pain against anything,
00:02:09
from reckless action.
00:02:11
If you speak at this meeting,
00:02:12
you'll be embarrassed or be criticized or hurt someone.
00:02:16
If you take initiative in the client relationship,
00:02:19
you risk failure.
00:02:21
It always tells us that it's not the right time that we're not ready.
00:02:26
Wait a few more years before applying for a job or setting up your company.
00:02:30
For the protector,
00:02:33
always means having bitten off more than you can chew.
00:02:36
It's far too risky.
00:02:38
How does our protect aspect express itself,
00:02:42
this terrible aspect that pushes us to play small.
00:02:46
The safety instinct of the protector holds us back
00:02:50
by setting tensions in our stomach or our throat.
00:02:53
As soon as we try to go beyond his protective barriers,
00:02:57
he sends us messages of doubt,
00:03:00
doubt about our intelligence,
00:03:05
our interpersonal skills,
00:03:08
The protector particularly whispers three doubts in our ear
00:03:12
to prevent us to aspiring to great things.
00:03:15
You can do wrong,
00:03:17
you can hurt people,
00:03:18
you can hurt yourself.
00:03:20
You can do wrong.
00:03:22
A good reason to self-censor yourself,
00:03:25
To stay in our comfort zone,
00:03:27
doing what we know how to do right,
00:03:29
rather than risk playing bigger.
00:03:32
What if I don't do the right thing?
00:03:34
What if I don't do it the right way?
00:03:36
What if I fail in my project or my mission?
00:03:40
But isn't it worth going for it,
00:03:41
even if we risk failure,
00:03:44
failure which is only a learning opportunity.
00:03:48
That being said,
00:03:49
I invite companies to encourage initiative,
00:03:52
valorize the culture of the right to fail.
00:03:56
It's OK to fail,
00:03:58
that's part of the test and learn process.
00:04:01
Without that right to fail,
00:04:04
everyone censors themselves and plays small,
00:04:07
keeping it belt and braces.
00:04:12
Sometimes the protector will appeal to our moral sense
00:04:16
to prevent us from speaking or acting.
00:04:19
What if you hurt the other person?
00:04:22
You'll hurt them or you're going to overshadow them.
00:04:25
Your colleague has just told you that they are applying for this job.
00:04:28
You can't apply too.
00:04:30
Your colleague behaved badly towards you.
00:04:33
If you say something,
00:04:34
you'll make it worse.
00:04:36
You want to change job for a job that you like but pays less.
00:04:41
Think about your children.
00:04:42
You're not going to deprive them of a vacation,
00:04:45
You don't want to help,
00:04:47
and carry your colleague any more.
00:04:50
They really need you.
00:04:51
You would like to change job now when the team is in the middle of a rush.
00:04:56
You can't do that to them.
00:04:57
Wait a year or two until everything's in order.
00:05:00
Do you think that the protector,
00:05:02
when it asks you to play small,
00:05:04
cares more about others than about you?
00:05:09
Not hurting others is above all a survival instinct reflex.
00:05:15
If you are nice to others,
00:05:17
if they are happy with you,
00:05:19
they will give you recognition.
00:05:23
you have the guarantee that you will not be excluded or rejected.
00:05:27
This guarantee is a good reason to keep playing small,
00:05:31
You can hurt yourself.
00:05:33
Third doubt that pushes us to play small
00:05:36
when the protector explains to us that following our
00:05:39
inspiration to speak or act is far too risky.
00:05:44
the board of directors,
00:05:45
they're really tough.
00:05:46
That's no place for you as a woman.
00:05:48
You're far too sensitive.
00:05:50
Resigning to set up your own company when you haven't finished your training,
00:05:54
you'll burn your wings.
00:05:56
To actively commit yourself to defend teleworking the company
00:06:00
is going to put yourself in a bad light.
00:06:03
You'll suffer the consequences.
00:06:05
Don't raise your voice so loud.
00:06:07
And if these three doubts you can do badly,
00:06:12
you can hurt yourself when not enough to stop us,
00:06:15
then the protector removes his mask to take on the face of the judge.
00:06:20
Who do you think you are?
00:06:22
No more in a doubt.
00:06:24
We move on to the next level.
00:06:26
inner criticism.
00:06:28
The judge lowers us.
00:06:30
The one who said he was our protector
00:06:33
was there as a nice guy
00:06:35
to prevent us from playing great,
00:06:37
but as his arguments didn't work and he is in fact scared to death
00:06:42
that we take a risk that he wanted to avoid,
00:06:45
he brings out the big guns.
00:06:48
He puts on his judge's cape,
00:06:50
and his fatal weapon consists in reminding us of all the times that
00:06:54
we did wrong when we got hurt and when we hurt others.
00:06:57
Guilt is his destructive weapon.
00:07:00
Going to collect in the past all our regrets and
00:07:03
putting them under our eyes with its cursed wand,
00:07:06
he annihilates all our hopes for the future to bring us back obediently into line.
00:07:13
Remember when you screwed up on such and such a project.
00:07:16
Do you remember when your boss took a dislike to you?
00:07:19
Remember when you went bankrupt on your first business?
00:07:23
Remember how you made a fool of yourself during the management committee.
00:07:27
Do you remember how you made this colleague cry?
00:07:30
You should have rather.
00:07:32
Do you want to do it again?
00:07:34
Who do you think you are?
00:07:35
What a lack of lucidity.
00:07:37
What unconsciousness.
00:07:41
You don't have time for these projects anyway.
00:07:43
Wait until the reorganization is over.
00:07:46
Wait until you have more experience.
00:07:48
Wait until your children have grown up.
00:07:50
Doubt and guilt are the weapons of self-censorship.
00:07:55
This inner aspect that judges us is just a little
00:07:59
boy or a little girl who is scared to death
00:08:02
while you are a man or a woman with inestimable potential,
00:08:07
a man or a woman who is right to think big,
00:08:11
and to play big.
00:08:14
if you remove doubt and guilt from your life,
00:08:17
you will no longer have a problem with self-confidence.
00:08:22
you don't suffer from a lack of self-confidence,
00:08:25
you suffer from an excess of doubt and guilt.
00:08:28
You are trapped in dual thinking.
00:08:31
It's time to move on to the third part.
00:08:35
How can we live and move forward despite our protector
00:08:38
and judge aspects that push us to play small?
00:08:42
How can we play big in spite of that aspect?
00:08:48
Recognize inner criticism.
00:08:50
Inner criticism seems to be on our side,
00:08:54
preventing us from speaking and acting too spontaneously.
00:08:58
Inner criticism appears logical,
00:09:01
telling us you're not ready.
00:09:03
You should be working out.
00:09:05
Don't be so ambitious.
00:09:07
You shouldn't have contradicted your colleague.
00:09:09
You will recognize it
00:09:11
because it is binary,
00:09:16
Because it is repetitive and persistent like a broken record,
00:09:22
sometimes it speaks through mirrors.
00:09:24
Friends who counsel and judge us saying they want to protect us.
00:09:29
You will recognize it because this protective voice,
00:09:33
if we don't listen to it,
00:09:35
can become harsh and uncompromising,
00:09:38
full of accusations.
00:09:40
The mask of the protector has fallen.
00:09:43
And the voice reveals its judgments.
00:09:46
You will recognize it more easily
00:09:49
when it becomes accusatory
00:09:52
because you don't talk like that to someone you love
00:09:55
because you don't cut the wings of someone you love.
00:09:59
On the contrary,
00:10:00
we help them to deploy their projects
00:10:03
by being realistic.
00:10:05
Constructive criticism,
00:10:07
on the other hand,
00:10:08
does not prevent us from seeing big
00:10:11
and building big.
00:10:13
How to differentiate it from inner censorship.
00:10:16
Here are 4 tips.
00:10:19
Tip one internal criticism
00:10:22
makes defining judgments.
00:10:24
When constructive criticism asks questions,
00:10:29
takes an interest.
00:10:31
internal criticism cultivates the binary thought black,
00:10:40
While constructive criticism sees the world in
00:10:43
a multitude of colors and possible options,
00:10:48
internal criticism
00:10:50
keeps bringing up past and problems,
00:10:52
while constructive criticism seeks solutions for
00:10:55
a future it envisions as positive.
00:10:59
internal criticism has an anxious or even aggressive tone,
00:11:04
while constructive criticism is calm or even playful.
00:11:08
Tip 2 while facing the judge.
00:11:11
Change your frequency.
00:11:13
Now that you know how to recognize the voice of the inner critic,
00:11:18
change the radio frequency.
00:11:20
I invite you not to spend too much time looking for the source of doubt and guilt.
00:11:26
They will be there for a long time.
00:11:28
They may be there forever,
00:11:30
but their voice will be so low that you won't hear them any more,
00:11:34
especially because you will have learned to direct your ears to other messages.
00:11:39
The messages of your aspirations,
00:11:42
your intuition and your action plans.
00:11:45
It's a bit like having a 307.9 radio frequency
00:11:49
that broadcasts messages of doubt and guilt,
00:11:52
but you never connect to that frequency again.
00:11:54
It continues to broadcast its message,
00:11:57
but you're no longer its listener.
00:11:59
When you try to understand its message,
00:12:03
where the doubts come from and why what happened in your childhood,
00:12:07
what wounds need to be healed in you,
00:12:09
you continue to listen to this radio.
00:12:12
When you seek to argue or destroy the guilt and out in your life to work on you.
00:12:18
That's like calling the radio station on air to
00:12:21
say that you disagree with what they're saying.
00:12:24
You're always on their frequency.
00:12:26
Why not play this game for a while,
00:12:28
but I advise you to change the frequency instead.
00:12:33
take back the wheel consciously.
00:12:37
Taking back the wheel means keeping the role
00:12:40
of decision maker away from the inner critic.
00:12:44
The inner critic is an aspect,
00:12:48
It is not our center,
00:12:50
The voice of self doubt and guilt will keep on warning us.
00:12:55
On hearing we have decided a change in our department.
00:12:58
You can do wrong,
00:13:00
the inner critic tells you.
00:13:03
you can do badly.
00:13:05
says the inner critic.
00:13:08
you can hurt yourself,
00:13:09
says the inner critic.
00:13:13
We can answer this voice.
00:13:16
I know that you want to protect me and protect others.
00:13:20
I have taken your arguments into account,
00:13:22
but I am the one who decides.
00:13:25
Playing big advises us,
00:13:29
Don't wait until you have no more doubts to act.
00:13:32
Don't wait until you are confident to act.
