Overrule The Inner Critic & Unleash Your Boldest Success

"This is absolute gold, audaciously uplifting, and so brilliantly crafted that you can’t help but see your own inner critics differently. It’s both hilarious and genius combined!!”

  • Are you a self-driven professional constantly stalled by self-doubt?
  • Are you stuck and stopped with fear of failure or holding back your ideas because of other people's opinions?
  • Do you feel like you've hit a wall when it comes to adopting change or embracing new challenges?

The voices inside your head - The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee - are the unseen force responsible for that paralysing fear, reduced productivity, and those missed opportunities in your life. Your brain is specifically wired to keep you safe, but if you let those voices rule the roost, they can keep you playing small, leading directly to stagnation and regret.

This isn't boring theory. This is a fresh, fun, and relatable guide that gives you the immediate power to identify, name, and silence the internal critics keeping you from the success you deserve.

What Happens When You Let the Committee Run the Show?

For franchise owners, salespeople, innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders who need consistent motivation and confidence to succeed, the Itty Bitty Shitty Committee causes critical, damaging outcomes:

Underperformance & Regret:

You fail to apply for that role or award, pitch that idea, or pursue new ventures, leading to deep disappointment and a sense of defeatism.

Stuck in Stagnation:

The fear of the unknown keeps you clinging to the status quo, convinced that doing nothing is the safest option, even as your industry evolves.

Inefficiency & Overwhelm:

Your mental energy is wasted on managing crippling doubt, leading to poor decision-making and a huge loss of momentum.

Imposter Syndrome:

You suffer from 'comparisonitis,' constantly knocking yourself down, questioning your capabilities and fearing you are not good enough for the success you deserve.

Meet the Critics, Master the Mindset

To evict the Itty Bitty Shitty Committee and replace them with a Big Bold Brilliant Board, you first have to meet them! This book introduces you to the 10 destructive members, revealing their weaknesses and their specific "scripts" that hold you back.

By reading this book, you will learn to identify and overrule:

  • Tallulah Poppy (The Imposter): The snarky lass who cuts you down with cruel comments about how you’re no better than anyone else, giving you imposter syndrome just as you begin to back yourself.
  • Frank (The Doubter): The bean-counter who doesn’t think you’ve done enough, causing you to second-guess your potential for success and doubt your capabilities.
  • Tiffany (The Worrier): The worst of the worriers who sabotages every idea with "But what if..." allowing fear of failure to rule your decisions.
  • Butch (The Insecure): Telling you you’re getting too big for your boots, and that no one likes a show off, feeding your insecurities, so don’t tell anyone how good you are.
  • Pat (The Status Quo): The comforting voice convincing you to stay put and remain inside your comfort zone, because if you become adventurous and try something new or different, you might get hurt.
  • Prof.Crastinator (The Delayer): Distracting you with facts and data, causing analysis paralysis, making sure you put off taking any action at all until it’s too late and you’ve missed the opportunity to shine.
  • Hattie (The Hater): Telling you you’re not good enough, and if you stand out and do well, everyone will hate you for it, making sure fear rejection more than you desire success.
  • Reg (The Regretter): Dredging up past mistakes, errors or pain to remind you how bad things can be, so you don’t even attempt to try.
  • Connie (The Comparer): Constantly pointing out the success of others, undermining any success because you’ll never amount to anything nearly as good as them.
  • Mimi (The Self-Centred): Focused on what other people think and the opinion they might have of you, hell bent on making a good impression and not being seen as a fool.

By identifying your key critics, you gain the power to overrule them, taking back your power of positivity and leading with confidence.

Reader's reviews

“Lauren Clemett takes the inner critics we all battle and turns them into characters we can finally laugh at - and then fire. The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee is a refreshing reminder that most of our limitations come from the boardroom in our own heads. She gives us practical tools to dismiss those troublemakers and promote a far better team: A Big, Brilliant Board of Directors that encourages confidence, growth, and success without apology. A fun, insightful approach that helps you get out of your own way.”

"The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee is fun, enlightening, positive, and most of all very useful and effective in dispelling the tendencies probably all of us have in some degree, and in some combination. Kind of amazing how effortlessly this is done. It has the effect of great psychology with the joy of comic characters. What a great way to reach and help people. The real-life stories and advice are wonderful. Lauren gets very personal and it makes it very relatable. It’s got me focusing on which of my own committee members are flaring up at the time."
