Is there good judgement? NO!Β If you judge others when they present (saying things like "He's no good presenter!" or "She doesn't know her thing, look at how she stands and talks!"), you automatically create a judging mindset on yourself. And it's not only about kindness (yes, we people and professionals need to treat everyone kindly). It's also about self-sabotaging. Here is how it works. You judge others for their presentation and speaking skills (often saying or implying horrible things) and then, when the time comes to open your mouth in your team meeting, the same "judging monkey" turns up in your head telling you this: "See? You are the same as the others. You are not a gifted presenter. Not even a confident one. You will mess up again!". Don't believe me? Think about it for a moment. I'm sure this is something you have experienced. Maybe you have given a name to that judging voice: the impostor, the saboteur... By the way, if you are tired of being sabotaged by self-judgement, have a look at this program. It might just help you for good! Long story short, don't judge, it doesn't help. Be kind to yourself and others. Besides, judgement by others is something out of your control, so why bother? If you receive feedback about your performance, that's another story. So take everything with a grain of salt. Still unsure? Watch my short #theRealCecile video below to hear me elaborating on the issue! |
