info_outlineWhat if the secret to becoming a stronger leader wasn’t changing who you are - but finally accepting who you’ve always been? What if the best thing you can do to help “them,” is to first work on yourself? What if you are driven by love instead of fear? How would your routines and mental wiring change? Renowned organizational psychologist Dr. Laura Gallaher to unpack the power of radical self-acceptance. She challenges us to consider radical self-acceptance (not narcissism) is the missing link to transforming your company culture, improving team performance, and elevating your own mental clarity as a leader. But what if you feel you’re okay? That may be true, but could you know yourself better? The answer is always YES! This is because comprehending ourselves is a journey, not a destination. Humans are complicated, and thought processes evolve as we experience life through years and decades. 🔑 Gallaher dives deep into the paradox theory of self-acceptance as a pathway to self-improvement, explaining how your belief system shapes your daily routines and long-term growth. She draws from personal experience, leadership psychology, and frameworks like The Gap and The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy. Gallaher candidly shares her proven strategies for setting quarterly goals, celebrating accomplishments, developing healthy habits, redefining success, and embracing rest without guilt. Dr. Laura Gallaher is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, and the founder of Gallaher Edge, a leadership development firm that helps leaders transform their cultures from the inside out.

Her approach helps leaders rewrite internal narratives, build resilient teams, and drive real business results through self-awareness and connection. Learn how to better know YOU.
