Cultivate Your Career Confidence and Amplify Your Impact

I'll teach you how to skyrocket your career confidence and own your place as a professional in 8 weeks
- especially if your inner critic makes you doubt your skills and experience.

Let's Do It In 8 Weeks!

Are you a dedicated professional that once knew what it was like to shine in your career?

Of course you do. But now, you're paralyzed by self-doubt and you second-guess everything you do.

Why? Because your inner critic has you convinced that:

  • Everything you do is wrong and that your ideas and efforts aren't good enough.

  • You've got skills and expertise but so does everyone else. There will always be someone that can do it better. Why should anyone listen to you?

  • You're no longer lit up by your work and that doesn't matter because you're not of value to anyone anyway.

  • You've been dismissing your achievements for so long that it just feels second nature to do so.

  • Maybe you've reached a level of success that your inner critic deems your glass ceiling and just don't know how or even believe that you can go any further.

  • Someone (hello, pesky inner critic), has convinced you that everyone else's expectations and perceptions should determine the work you do and how you do it...even if it's not true to who you are or your unique skills.

  • You feel like you're not worthy of accolades or celebration and that any you do receive need to be downplayed.

  • You constantly feel like you need to be doing more to reach some kind of pinnacle of success.

  • You've been letting your Inner Critic be in the driver's seat of your life and you're wondering if you'll ever feel confident about the work you do again.

I Want You To Know:

You're not alone in experiencing low self esteem, creative blocks, second-guessing yourself and what you've done, and being afraid that you won't ever get to do the work you've always wanted to.

 

Even successful business owners and people of influence have fears and insecurities - just like the rest of us.

As a matter of fact, self-doubt often *increases* as the stakes get higher.

I've had these struggles myself. 

Four years ago, I went through a series of events that decimated my career confidence. The release of a book that fell flat. Speaking gigs that fell through. A business that was just barely squeaking by because engagements started drying up.

My expectations of where my level of success should be by that point in my life and where I felt actually was were wildly different. And because of this difference and run of disappointments, to my self-esteem plummeted. I doubted my capabilities and questioned my purpose. My professional confidence came apart at the seams.

I knew I had to get back to feeling able, competent, and deserving again, but I hadn't a clue where to start!

But then I remembered: I had written a book about how to silence the inner critic to unleash creativity. It turns out the content and practices are also ideal to help rebuild career confidence! So I started putting my own teachings into action.

And that changed everything.

Your Inner Critic is undermining your confidence, blocking your brilliance, and stalling your success.

Under the influence of the Inner Critic, we stick to safe solutions and average ideas. We don't step up to challenges to expand our expertise or add to our experience. We don't push our abilities and grow. We don't innovate ways to reach our visions.

The inner critic keeps us from accessing our ideas and our genius and letting them out in the world. The inner critic poisons our mental dialogue, hijacks our decision-making, and erodes our self-esteem in the process. It constrains us, stifles our brilliance, and keeps us stuck out of fear.

Can you see how harmful the inner critic has been - not just to your sense of self, but also to how you perform at work, and correspondingly, your career?

I'm here to tell you that it is possible to not only return your career confidence to a healthy place, but that you can transform your doubtful thoughts and negative self-talk into a positive feedback loop to make your confidence even stronger.

What I have done, and you can do too, is to get in better control of your inner critic to manage the voice of self-doubt. Doing so will help you to own your expertise, recognize your uniqueness advantage, and leverage your skills to revitalize your career, and start amplifying the heck out of your impact and reach!

Imagine...

...Showing up strong and confident about your ideas, vision, and your ability to execute them.

...Having the confidence to leverage your unique skills, experiences, and expertise to market your uniqueness, not just do the things you've been conditioned to believe are marketable.

...Regaining your passion and confidence and stepping into your power.

...Letting your brilliance out into the world and feeling confident that doing so, will be beneficial not a waste of time.

...Taking back your power from the clutches of your Inner Critic and stepping into the career confidence that is your due.

And now, Envision!

...What you would accomplish if your brilliance wasn't blocked by either inner or outer critics constantly telling you you're not good enough.

...What you could offer the world if that mean and disparaging voice in your head was gone and you felt more confident in what you were capable of.

...How you would confidently step up, rise to challenges, push your thinking, and truly own your expertise.

You're probably thinking "this all sounds great, Denise, but HOW? How do I do all this?"

I have got great news for you.

How does AmplifyU do all of this?
Let's break it down:

The course runs over 8 weeks and is, packed full of insightful, transformative live content to help you quickly overcome your blocks, fears and limiting beliefs, much faster than you can on your own. 

Week 1:

Get clear + Envision

We'll start by clarifying your goals. You'll get clear on your "whys":  why you want the goal, and why the goal wants you. We'll start to envision your path: the milestones, connections to leverage, and desired outcomes.

Week 2:

Unblock + Reset

Next, we'll work on raising awareness of your inner critic. We'll identify and remove mental blocks in the form of the inner critical thoughts that have been draining your confidence, particularly impostor syndrome and high self-criticism. You'll learn several powerful mindset shifts to help you to start reclaiming your power. 

Week 3:

Recognize: (Re)Discover + Own Your Expertise

We'll focus on getting back in touch with your strengths, unique genius, and brilliance. We'll address overcoming the tendency to compare and the fear of not being enough.

Week 4:

Initiate: Plan + Plant

We'll plan out and initiate the first steps towards your big goal, while focusing on removing the blocks to starting including fear of judgement, procrastination, perfectionism, and fear of failure.

Week 5:

Build: Value + Empower

Once you start making moves towards your goal, you need to keep adding to the momentum. Valuing yourself, your skills, and what you are capable of will also grow your sense of empowerment. We'll focus on building mastery through deliberate practice, learning to deal with criticism and feedback, and building community and systems of support.

Week 6:

Adjust: Listen + Shift

The feedback loop has started. Where do you need to shift and adjust in your plans and actions? We'll focus on increasing self-trust and developing adaptability, and amping up self-care to avoid burnout in order to start to do your best work.

Week 7:

Win: Acknowledge Effort

Acknowledging your wins is so important! How far have you come from week 1? Learning how to build acknowledgement and of milestones and mini-goals will strengthen and reinforce the positive feedback loop and will solidify your confidence.

Week 8:

Celebrate: Reward + Level-Up

It's not enough to acknowledge effort. Motivation is greatly enhanced and increased by celebrating our successes. Now that you have made progress to get closer to your big goal, what will you do next to level-up?
