Beliefs shape far more than our thoughts—they shape what we notice, how we feel, and what we are capable of doing, especially under pressure. The truth is that most of us unknowingly operate with beliefs that hold us back, even when we have the skills, motivation, and experience to succeed. The gap between where we are and where we want to be is often not a lack of effort, but the expectations running in the background. In this deep-dive webinar, Nir Eyal, author of Beyond Belief, will reveal the latest science behind how beliefs influence attention, emotion, and behavior. Drawing on research from neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral design, he will show participants how to identify limiting beliefs, replace them with empowering ones, and perform at their best—even in moments of uncertainty and stress.
