We all have that little voice in our heads. The one that says, “You’re not good enough,” or “Why even bother?” Instead of letting it boss you around, what if you could turn that nagging voice into a helpful guide?

Rosi Greenberg, Artist, CEO & Leadership Development Facilitator at Drawn to Lead, calls her inner critic Sam, and in our latest episode at HAPPINESS SQUAD Podcast, she’s teaching us how to meet, greet, and tame that inner critic. 

Rosi Greenberg, a leadership development artist with 15 years of experience, empowers leaders to embrace their inner strength and creativity through bespoke workshops. Her book, Everyone Has a Sam: Meeting the Inner Critic and Re-Writing the Rules, tackles imposter syndrome with transformative strategies. 

With a Master’s in Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and advanced leadership training, Rosi champions empathy as a crucial leadership skill, blending artistry and leadership to foster meaningful professional connections.
