Self Criticism

Perhaps you want to be nicer to yourself but don’t really know how to get there. Or maybe you’re someone who assumes self-criticism is a permanent part of your personality.

So many leadership and compassion books seek to remind leaders to "behave human" and treat those around them with care. But the truth is that leaders are human.

Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. But it doesn't have to be that way.
