Transform Self-Talk to Elevate Performance and Skyrocket Success
The Inner Critic is the main source of our biggest blocks to perform at our best. Fortunately, there were simple and effective ways to banish the inner critic in order to do our best work as contributors, collaborators, and leaders.
First, you’ll discover the three mental power tools that you already possess to stop the inner critic in its tracks. Then you’ll learn methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”
By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to get unstuck, do your best work, and channel your creativity as a force for positive change in the world.
Creating can be a tortured process. Sadly, this torture is often self-inflicted. The angst is not inherent in the creative process itself, but instead comes from the fears we have around our ability to produce. These fears manifest as the Inner Critic, which is the largest block to the flow of original ideas. But there’s good news: you can break the power that Inner Critic wields over you to become a creative powerhouse!
In this talk, we’ll begin by exploring the origins of the Inner Critic and discover the tools that you already possess to vanquish it. Then we’ll dive into methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”
By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to not only get unstuck, but to channel your creativity as a force for positive change in the world. The potential for greatness lies dormant in all of us. Banishing your Inner Critic is the first step to getting back in touch with the highly productive creative badass that you are and sharing your gifts with the world.

The Creativity (R)Evolution - Trondheim Developer's Conference 2014Denise Jacobs
There's a movement brewing built upon leveraging the transformative power of creativity to help us work and create better so that we can produce work infused with meaning. Discover how by instilling tiny habits to cultivate your creative spark, and finally, fomenting creative collaboration based on the tenets of improv and open spaces, you can take the spark of Creativity (R)Evolution and use it as the impetus to push you, your teams, and your companies to create Betterness.
Research shows that self-talk is not only a key component to thinking and processing information, but is also how we build our ideas of who we are. This means that when self-talk goes awry, it’s the main source of our biggest block to creativity: the Inner Critic.
What if there were simple and effective ways to change our self-talk for the better and banish the inner critic in order to do our best work as contributors, collaborators, and leaders? Fortunately, there are! First, you’ll discover the 3 mental power tools that we already possess to stop the inner critic in its tracks. Then you’ll learn methods for dealing with the fear of being judged and criticized, how to transform highly critical self-talk into that of approval and encouragement, and ways to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.” By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to both get unstuck and channel your
creativity as a force for positive change in the world.
Banish Your Inner Critic – Stanford HCI Group 2020Denise Jacobs
During these unprecedented times, we are particularly susceptible to The Inner Critic, that voice of self-doubt that tells us that we aren't doing enough and that everyone is more successful and productive during the pandemic than we are. Fortunately, there are effective ways to manage the inner critic so that we can be better to ourselves and still show up powerfully.
In this session, Denise will share useful and effective tools to decrease the levels of anxiety. We'll also look at ways to tone down the tendency to compare ourselves with others (or to an unreachable "ideal"), ways to reframe language and transform self-talk to be more supportive, and tactics to overcome impostor syndrome, perfectionism, and unblock creativity.
As a designer, you need ways to work better so that you can create more, but what do you do when you hit a seemingly insurmountable mental wall? You need to bust through your mental barriers to unblock your creativity and allow it to flow.
Combining the neuroscience of creativity with methods to increase productivity, we’ll discover techniques and tools to get past the mental barriers that keep you stuck and slow you down – which is also known as the Inner Critic. We’ll explore ways in
which to dramatically enhance your creative self-esteem: to feel like your ideas are good enough and stop committing “ideacide.”
We’ll then uncover how to prevent criticism and judgement from immobilizing you and shutting down your creative process, how to leverage the collective genius of a group to amplify creativity, and
tricks for generating more ideas than you ever thought possible.
These approaches will not only help to enhance your productive creativity, but they will also help you to operate from a place of passion and excitement. By the end, you’ll have a roadmap of how to not only get unstuck, but also how to channel your
creativity as a force for positive change in the world.

Co-Create: Creating Better Together - Clarity Conference 2019Denise Jacobs
Despite the prevalent mythology of the lone creative genius, many of the most innovative contributions spring from the creative chemistry of a group and the blending of everyone’s ideas and concepts. How can we best leverage this collective wisdom to generate creative synergy and co-create? Let’s look at the process of recognizing and removing our personal creative blocks, connecting and communicating with others, combining ideas using play, and constructing a collaborative environment to discover effective methods for tapping into a group’s creative brilliance. Through these steps, you’ll learn to capitalize on the super-linearity of creativity to embrace and leverage diversity to create better together.

But there’s good news: you can break the power that Inner Critic wields over you to become a creative powerhouse!
