We explore how to actually change the message we are hearing, how to retrain our inner voice in order to ensure that it is truly serving us. How? By using our inner voice!

We know the harmful effects on our mind, body and relationships of chronic stress and whilst a noisy negative inner voice isn't the cause, it's often present. If we can learn to turn it down and therefore reduce it's power, it can help in our management of our moods and stress.
The case for caring about how we use, listen to and train our inner voice is clear! It is fundamental to the way we experience our lives on a personal and professional level.
Join me for this series of episodes during the summer where I will be exploring in more detail what the research into the inner voice could mean for us in our personal and professional lives and what we can do very practically to harness and train it to serve us.

This is part 2 in a series looking at the impact of COVID and working from home on leaders and their teams (for part 1, please look at the previous BONUS episode!).
Ann shares four simple and yet transformative ways to keep the daily habits that help to keep us going in the mix when we most need them.
