Taming The Voices In Your Head!
The Coach, the Worrier, the Critic, and the Judge Walk Into a Bar…
It sounds like a joke, but for Culture and Leadership expert Corinne Canter, it’s a daily reality—just not in a bar, but in our heads.
“These voices show up all the time,” says Corinne, who has spent over 20 years coaching executives. “Most people think they’re the only ones dealing with this mental chatter, but it’s universal.”
Each voice plays a role: the Coach cheers us on, the Worrier anticipates danger, the Critic highlights flaws, and the Judge lays down verdicts. Add the Perfectionist, Imposter, and Pleaser, and suddenly it’s a full house.
For Corinne, the turning point came when she realised these voices weren’t her identity—they were strategies formed over time. “Once I understood that, I could reset the relationship,” she says.
Her approach? Let the Coach lead. Use the other voices as advisors, not dictators. “The Worrier can be helpful, the Critic can sharpen ideas—but not if they dominate.”
Her advice: Notice when a voice takes over, tune into the need behind it, then decide if it’s helping. If not, thank it—and move on.
“You own the bar,” she reminds us. “You choose who speaks, for how long, and what kind of conversation unfolds.”
For those ready to quiet the noise and strengthen self-leadership, Corinne and the Human Synergistics team are here to help. Reach her at corinne@human-synergistics.com.au.

Episode 229 – Keeping Perspective on Life’s Challenges
In this episode of Culture Bites, host Dominic Gourley is joined by fellow Human Synergistics Consultant Fiona Hogarth to discuss maintaining perspective when facing seemingly insurmountable challenges. Fiona shares her straightforward life advice: “You live until you die, the sun comes up in the morning, and the favourite doesn’t always win.” These simple truths help reframe setbacks and remind us that challenges are just a part of life.
The episode explores how our reactions to adversity are shaped by the stories we tell ourselves. It looks at how some people can adjust and move forward quickly, while others get stuck in the drama. By stepping back, questioning our narratives, and seeking outside perspectives, we can shift from catastrophising to problem-solving.
