Your mind can be your greatest ally… or your toughest critic. We navigate life from within our mind, the hub where perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and decisions are brought together and shaped. Yet, if left unattended, the mind often sides with the critic, focusing on flaws, replaying mistakes, and overlooking the strengths and resources we already carry. The good news is that research shows we can train the mind to work with us, not against us. Cultivating character strengths, practicing gratitude, and developing self-compassion can shift these habits in powerful ways. In this interactive 2.5-hour workshop, Inner Allies will help you: 1. Identify and apply your unique strengths, 2. Practice gratitude using techniques proven to lift mood, build optimism, and strengthen relationships, and 3. Quiet your inner critic with self-compassion strategies that increase motivation instead of shame. Maysam Nour Eddin is a fourth-year PhD candidate at Toulouse School of Management, specializing in how gratitude shapes well-being and behavior in the workplace.
