What's Stopping You? How to Overcome Self-Sabotage and Become More Resilient with Matthew Freeman and Tamra Wright
Need help?
Do you sometimes wish you could get out of your own way? Most of us have negative voices in our heads that tempt us into self-sabotaging behaviours like procrastination, people-pleasing, or shying away from new challenges. This workshop will help you identify the negative thought patterns that stop you from achieving some of your most important goals. You will learn simple, evidence-based strategies to help you face challenges more effectively and realise your full potential.
About the programme leaders
Matthew and Tamra are friends and colleagues who first met when Matthew joined the faculty of the Senior Faith in Leadership Programme.

His passion is helping individuals and groups overcome differences and find common ground to tackle complex challenges. Sought after globally, Matthew has brought his expertise to diverse audiences – from members of the US Congress and the Federal Reserve to Fortune 500 companies and small charities across the US, UK, Europe, Kenya, and Hong Kong.
With a unique background in science and Christian church history, Matthew sheds light on how our brains can hinder collaboration and progress. He delves into these topics in his book, Overcoming Bias: Building Authentic Relationships Across Differences, and his numerous articles.
