Flip the Script on Your Inner Critic

Thursday, May 21, 2026 from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM

Title: Flip the Script on Your Inner Critic: Strengthening Decision-Making and Leadership Effectiveness Through Neuroscience
Speaker: Jill Windelspecht

Location: Hilton Garden Inn (6165 Levis Commons Blvd Perrysburg OH 43551)

  • 8:00 am - Networking & Breakfast
  • 8:20 am - Announcements
  • 8:30 am - Meeting begins
  • 9:30 am - Meetings ends

  • Session Description:

    Leadership effectiveness is often evaluated externally—but one of the biggest performance risks operates internally. In high-pressure environments, self-critical thinking can quietly erode decision quality, confidence, and leadership presence.
    Through practical application, attendees will learn simple mental fitness techniques to interrupt reactivity, improve clarity, and support more effective decision-making. These tools can be leveraged to enhance leadership development, coaching conversations, and overall organizational performance.

    Learning Objectives:
  • Understand why the inner critic is a trained neural pattern—not a leadership flaw
  • Recognize how self-criticism quietly degrades decision quality, confidence, and executive presence under pressure
  • Apply simple mental fitness techniques to interrupt reactivity and think clearly in high-stakes moments
