Abstract

This chapter, “Overcoming Our Inner Critics—A Constant Battle,” addresses the universal dilemma of self-doubt, particularly prevalent among women leaders in healthcare. Drawing from personal experiences, I illustrate the struggle and resolution with this internal critic. The chapter reframes the inner critic as a misplaced protector and guides readers to heightened self-awareness, a crucial first step in managing self-doubt. From this vantage point, I provide practical strategies to transform this potentially negative force into a catalyst for growth and motivation. Emphasizing the adoption of a growth mindset and resilience, the chapter elucidates how failures, seen through the lens of self-awareness, can become invaluable learning opportunities. This chapter, ultimately, serves as an empowering roadmap for women healthcare leaders, illuminating a path to turn their inner critic from an obstacle into a conduit for personal development, stronger leadership, and increased self-awareness.
