In the Playing Big webinar, your host Suzi Dafnis was joined by Tara Mohr to discuss the ways women can put aside their fears and finally start playing big.
Tara Mohr is the author of Playing Big and an expert in women’s leadership and well-being. As the creator of the Playing Big leadership program for women and the global Playing Big facilitators training for professionals who support women in their personal and professional journeys, she is experienced in coaching women to reach their full potential.
According to a poll taken in the webinar, the two biggest motivators for our listener to play big are the desire to grow a very successful business and the goal of living the vision of life they had wanted for themselves. However, 60% also said that fear and self-doubt is their biggest barrier in preventing these goals from materialising.
As someone who is passionate about making sure women’s voices are being heard, Tara defines the concepts of your ‘Inner Critic’ and ‘Inner Mentor’ to help women deal with their own anxieties about playing a bigger game. She also uses this opportunity to get in touch with women about the fears that often force them to hide and stops them from reaching more of their goals
Tara’s strategies to over come fear and play big:
- Learn the skill of hearing your inner voice of self-doubt but not making decisions based on it.
- Don’t wait on confidence to achieve your dreams. Your inner critic will only come out more as your business grows.
- Meet your inner mentor. Imagine your authentic self and ask yourself, ‘How would she face this situation?’ and ‘What guidance can she offer me?’
- Distinguish what kind of fear you are experiencing and react accordingly.
- Understand that feedback doesn’t tell you anything about yourself but rather about the person providing it.
Many of our listeners were inspired and motivated by Tara’s tips to shed their reservations and strive for their goals.
“I have listened to Tara speak before and thought she was very inspirational and made a lot of sense. I was not disappointed by today’s webinar — lots of hints and I am looking forward to listening to the replay to pick up some more.”
“Practical advice, and viewing feedback differently was a good idea.”
Listening to Tara’s insights allowed our listeners to reach out and achieve their goals.
