All sessions by Inbal →Between 30 and 40 percent of women report holding back and censoring themselves in public expression. Inbal Lori explores three powerful and often invisible forces that shape how we think, speak and interact: the inner censor, the public persona and the fear of being judged.
Through a live interactive experiment she shows how to bypass them on the path to freer, bolder expression.
1. Recognising your inner censor
How it develops, why it is so effective, and how the public persona we build to avoid being wrong blocks our first, instinctive responses.
2. Redefining failure
When people feel safe to speak up and take risks, creativity and collaboration increase dramatically.
3. Bypassing self-censorship
Playful, practical tools to reconnect with spontaneous, initial ideas, useful in any innovative or novel endeavour.
Research shows that between 30 and 40 percent of women report holding back and censoring themselves in public expression. Women are often more cautious because studies suggest they have more to lose. It is up to us, as women, to set a new tone, redefine the rules and lead by example.
This session offers insight into how fear shapes behaviour, and how reducing self-censorship can unlock originality, boldness and play.
Through a live interactive experiment and practical examples, Inbal Lori examines how our inner censor develops and why it is so effective. Central to the discussion is our public persona: a social mask formed through fear of being wrong or judged, which helps us function in society but often interferes with growth and creative processes by blocking our first, instinctive responses.
Inbal introduces powerful and playful tools to bypass inner censorship and fear and to strengthen our connection with spontaneous ideas. Relevant to leaders, educators, artists and anyone engaged in creative and innovative work.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Between 30 and 40 percent of women report holding back and censoring themselves in public expression. Inbal Lori explores three powerful and often invisible forces that shape how we think, speak and interact: the inner censor, the public persona and the fear of being judged.
A masterclass. Inbal Lori takes your colleagues through the subject and the reasoning behind it, and answers live questions. It is practical in what people take away, without the hour turning into an exercise class.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Inbal, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
