TARA MOORE: So your inner critic is very different from your voice of critical thinking or realistic thinking. SARAH GREEN CARMICHAEL: So I’m wondering, if some people are listening to this who are some kind of Zen master and don’t have this complicated relationship with their inner critic, but maybe manage someone who does, what’s some advice for people out there who may be managing someone with an over active inner critic or just a little too much self-doubt? TARA MOORE: So the common mistake that we make– and we do this as managers when we’re dealing with people with self-doubt, we also do it with friends, we do it often as parents if our child is feeling self-doubt– that we think our job is to argue with that person’s inner critic.
