Every professional who needs to be their own boss, from the highest-performing franchise owner to the most dynamic salesperson or business leader, battles the same insidious internal force of negative self-talk: The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee.
This internal nagging of self-doubt is more than an individual annoyance - it’s an organisational crisis that costs your business in adaptation, innovation, and leadership performance. It keeps your people small, safe, and susceptible to failure. This prehistoric wiring, headquartered in the amygdala of their brains, is overrated and outdated, causing:
The Itty Bitty Shitty Committee members like Patty (The Status Quo) and Tiffany (The Worrier) keep people clinging to the familiar, convinced that doing nothing is the safest option, even as your industry evolves.
Leaders fail to show up genuinely because of the Fear of Rejection (Hattie) or by being cut down by Tallulah Poppy (The Imposter), leading to a lack of true personal brand visibility and performance consistency.
Prof. Crastinator (The Delayer) causes analysis paralysis, while Reg (The Regretter) drags up past failures, preventing leaders from taking ownership and moving forward with consistent action.


Lauren Clemett’s keynote provides a relatable, fun, and immediately actionable re-framework to replace your people’s destructive self-doubt with clarity and confidence.
In order to defeat them, first we have to meet them - from Frank (The Doubter) who demands more evidence of success before leaders start to believe in themselves.
To Mimi (The Self-Centred) who overthinks every opinion and won't do anything unless she can impress others - your people will not only gain the power to overrule these depreciating, damaging voices, they’ll create a sustainable approach for unstoppable resilience.
Every organisation struggles with a unique mix of internal critics. To truly drive change, your team must first identify and name the voices causing the most damage to their confidence and momentum.
The most common internal saboteurs impacting leadership, resilience, and growth are listed below. Lauren will customise your keynote to focus on the top four critics affecting your organisational change or challenges:
poppy

Reduced productivity, burnout, and impaired collaboration, as your team questions their abilities, overworks to compensate, and hides their struggles.
You can shrink to fit in or stand out and win
frank

Hesitation and delayed decision-making caused by needing excessive proof or preparation, leading to stalled projects and dropping morale.
Stop looking for evidence and start leading with confidence
tiffany

Ideas and momentum are destroyed before they launch, with leaders constantly predicting worst-case scenarios and focusing only on the risks.
Worry is fiction; action creates conviction
butch

Leaders downplay wins and quickly move on to the work at hand, failing to recognise or celebrate success, destroying team confidence and shooting down any motivation to succeed.
When your work speaks for itself, it just sits on the shelf
pat

Resisting change and inviting obsolescence as leaders are locked into outdated patterns, convinced that sticking to the familiar is safer than adapting to necessary evolution.
Comfort keeps you slow - adventure makes you grow!
Prof. Crastinator

Missed opportunities, disengaged teams and micromanaging leaders insisting on gathering endless data, ensuring ideas launch too late or not at all.
Perfection is a mask you wear to hide the task
hattie

Physiologically unsafe environments where leaders hide mistakes and talent to avoid judgment, hindering genuine communication, trust, and authenticity.
If you fear rejection, you miss making a connection
reg

Trust is lost as leaders dredge up past mistakes and turn small failings into catastrophes, claiming the team isn’t ready for new challenges or change.
Looking back gets you off track. Looking forward gets you rewarded
connie

A workplace full of jealousy, mistrust, and inadequacy, with a highly competitive culture as everyone constantly measures up against others, demotivating any attempt to apply themselves.
Don’t envy their pace - run your own race
mimi

Undermined confidence in leaders who focus on impressing others over building the team, stifling innovation and creating overwhelm and stress by obsessively picking on minor flaws, then failing to delegate.
Stop striving to impress; Start driving progress
