This is the training all of us needed

Accessing the Leader Within
(90 min)

Despite the best nutrition training in the world, many dietetic interns and new RDs struggle to feel confident. Perfectionism, fear of failure, and a strong inner critic impact one’s ability to speak out, share ideas, and lead. This will then go on to impact performance, pay, and the profession as a whole. This training focuses on the inner dynamics that make it possible to: 

  • Speak up and share ideas with others

  • Receive feedback with ease

  • Unhook from praise, criticism, and perfectionism

  • Be more resourceful and resilient

participants gain skills, insights and simple tips that encourage thinking about
Themself, and their future, in a whole new way.
