The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we fear failure, when in fact we fear the success that comes with living up to our fullest potential In 2023, I took to the Quirks London stage to talk about Imposter Syndrome. Why? Because since establishing my private coaching practice in 2021 and helping others deal with this self sabotaging behaviour, I want to share more widely the transformations I know are possible... I’ve seen my clients go from ‘I can’t apply for the promotion…’ ‘I can’t deliver at that senior level…’ ‘I can’t negotiate or ask for a pay rise…’ To… I put myself forward for that big promotion! ‘I believe I can deliver at a senior level’ ‘I just asked for a pay rise, and got it! We all have moments when we can use a little inspiration from someone who has been there, done that and now teaches others to do the same. My talks offer a combination of the latest research on the topic, my personal story and learnings from coaching clients through similar challenges. Each session delivers practical strategies and advice that your teams can start using straight away. Options for interactive sessions and longer workshops available. Other topics include * Mental Fitness: 3 keys to better stress management * Your first 100 days: establishing confidence in a new leadership role If you’re looking for a speaker who has * extensive knowledge of the Insights Industry * and brings relatable, unique perspective to the challenges your teams are facing * along with the experience in coaching others to thrive and lead their teams with greater easeDM me or email me at lara@lara-meyer.comhttps://www.lara-meyer.com/speaking

Did you know only 20% of individuals and teams achieve their full potential? Most attempts at positive change fail because we stop at insight and don’t build habits. Sustained change towards a more positive mind requires laying down neural pathways to form new habits through consistent daily practice. The Positive Intelligence (PQ) Program grows your three core mental fitness muscles within six weeks. Following the programme using the breakthrough PQ app which delivers personalized daily practices that result in powerful new habits for a positive mind. Bolstered with the support of an experienced coach to answer questions and ensure successful completion. When it comes to teams, most work too hard, experience too much conflict, friction and stress, and vastly underachieve their potential. This is because every team member is unknowingly sabotaging both their own and their team’s performance and wellbeing. The PQ system enables your teams to maximize both performance and wellbeing simultaneously by focusing on the root-level mental muscles that impact both.This is why PQ forms a foundational part of my coaching practice whether I am working with individuals, teams or businesses. Ask me more about the programme by sending a DM or email to lara@lara-meyer.com
