Listen as Anne Whitehouse shares a motivational talk How to turn imposter syndrome on its head, quickly and easily with AGC Minneapolis March 2021. 

Learning Objectives: 

• A radical new understanding on what causes imposter syndrome, low confidence, and the push pull that sabotage your success and impact in the world. 
• Why conventional empowerment only plasters over the cracks. 
• How to turn your imposter literally on its head, in the moment, and skyrocket confidence just when you need it. 

Speaker Bio: 

Dr Anne Whitehouse is an author, Legend Within speaker, a PhD scientist turned female power alchemist, FRSA (Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts), and subconscious transformation expert. Above all, she is a passionate empoweree of women, dedicated to helping them achieve their full potential and success through activating their innate female brilliance. 

Anne studied at Jesus College, Cambridge University, graduating a scholar and multiple prize-winner with a first class honors degree in Natural Sciences. She won the 1990 Royal Charter Prize awarded by the Institute of Metals, as the top metallurgy graduate in the UK, then went on to gain a PhD and an EPSRC post-doctoral research fellowship. By 1996 she was a high-flying University Lecturer (College Professor) in Mechanics of Materials at a leading university's Engineering Department. 

In this environment, she came up against the Boys Club, struggled with confidence and suffered stress, anxiety and burnout, which ultimately caused her to leave her scientific career. Instead of accepting the situation, she embarked on a quest to understand what had caused her extreme reaction in a career for which she was eminently qualified and capable. 

After 20 years of research, applying her scientific approach to the subconscious world, and working with many high-achieving women, who had all gone through similar experiences, she developed a six-key, ground-breaking code for unlocking profound confidence by breaking free of old limitations set by the patriarchal systems encoded into our psyche. This life-changing process is described in her impactful bestselling book Pull Back Your Power, which offers techniques to release women from the hidden subconscious restraints that continue to sabotage their wellbeing and block success, despite the freedoms of the 21st century. 

Anne works with high-achieving visionary women, facilitating life-changing workshops, talks, mastermind groups and one to one power alchemy, both online and worldwide. She lives near Leicester in the UK with her husband and son.

Listen as Randy Hyden shares a motivational talk Invincible - How to be more like the person you were born to be with AGC. 

We all have ideas that we carry deeply within us that handicap us from living at our natural best- which is free from anxiety, burnout, regret, resentment and shame. 

We also lack clarity on what our highest values are, so we are not intentional about what we choose to do that would allow for us to do more of what we enjoy more often - and less of what we have an aversion about. 

What we will discuss is how to be more like the person we are born to be so that we can have the life we are born to live. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Identity- How do we see ourself and the our integration into the world around us. How this shapes our life. 
• Integrity- We say/think that we value particular characteristics, but are we living them out consistently? If not, what to do. 
• Clarity- How to maintain living in integrity with your highest values and therefore feel greater self-esteem and fulfilment. 

Speaker Bio: 

I’ve done many things that I am proud of and can be placed on a resume but the greatest accomplishment of my life is being continuously sober for over 14 years as of this writing. 

And as most anyone who has long term sobriety will tell you, these last 14 years have been filled with so many unforeseen challenges and opportunities. For me this journey began with intense thoughts of despair- basically concluding that I could not do life as a drunk or as as sober person so I might as well just end my life. I also went through the deaths of both my parents and best friend in less than 12 months. Then immediately after there was a lawsuit with my sister due to her committing fraud and having me removed from the family trust. Those few years many of my friends were concerned that I would relapse. Fortunately, I did have a group good friends and a good foundation for living sober that allowed me to not return to myself destructive ways and I did prevail in the lawsuit. Then I started the business I had dreamed about all my life but after years of giving it everything I had, it became apparent that closing the doors was the best course of action. Through all of this nasty stuff, and there was even more than I shared here, I was able to not just stay sober but to use the tools I had learned to go to the next level of my sobriety. 

These tools provided for greater self care, self assertiveness and self leadership. These techniques have also helped me overcome deeply imbedded emotional traumas. I no longer suffer from anxiety, burnout, regret, resentment, self hatred and shame. No longer do I fall prey to constantly blaming myself and thinking that there must be something wrong with me. 

Therefore I know that these skills benefit a person much more than staying sober; this is a design for living that works for anyone seeking an improved mental state and greater mental clarity. In other words, this works for anyone who wants to move on with their life. 

This is a way to get off the merry go round of therapy, seminars, bad relationships and sometimes even falling prey to cult like groups desperately trying to find a way to stop the pain. Like it did for me and many other people who concluded that they were doomed to a life of misery.
