Three stages, five lessons, four tools, lifetime access, and you can start in the next five minutes
The Internal Authority Protocol
Stop second-guessing yourself. Start backing yourself.

It is nine at night and the meeting is still running in your head. This time you have tools and at least one sentence that stops it, and a page of your own facts to read instead.

You know the loop
You're replaying the one sentence you said. Re-deciding the decision you already made.

You left a meeting at four, and you're still going over it at nine. 

You rewrote an email this week that was fine the first time. 

You rehearsed a conversation the night before a meeting, then didn't bring it up. 

There's someone you stopped working for years ago whose opinion is still getting a say in what you decide.

You're good at your job. That was never in question.


Somewhere behind all of this, there's a voice. 

A manager from six years ago. A colleague who undermined you in front of people. Someone whose opinion you'd wouldn't ask for now still gets a say. 


 This has a name. Narrative Debt: the mental tax you pay every time you second-guess a decision, shrink from a bold idea, or check your instincts against the imaginary opinion of someone who no longer has any authority over you. 


They moved on. 


The question this protocol asks is whether you did.

Three stages, and the voice gets turned down
Name It
Fifteen questions that pull the voice out of the background and onto the page, with a name and a date on it.
Answer It
Every line it says gets a fact beside it, written by you, grounded in something you could point to in a meeting.
Interrupt It
One sentence for the moment it starts again, and four tools for the day around it.
NAME IT
Name the Noisemaker
The noise has power because it lives in your head, unexamined. Written down, it becomes data, and data you can work with. 

Whose voice is it. What it says, word for word. What it has cost you 
so far in hours, in decisions you didn't make, in evenings. 
 
Just you and a pen. There's an example of a finished one inside, so you can see what done looks like before you start.
ANSWER IT
Your Authority
Your three biggest scripts on one sheet. What you'd thought till now. What you know to be true. Underneath each one, a line that starts "I am the kind of leader who", in your words. 

Print it and put it in your desk drawer, or have it on your desktop. Read it once before a meeting you're dreading, and on any evening the replay starts. 

You wrote every word on it, so there's nothing to agree with. You're reminding yourself what you already established.
INTERRUPT IT
Reset Tools
 The Workday Shutdown Protocol. A real end to the day, so work stops when work stops. 

The Reset Phrase Library. The words to say the second a replay starts. Select the ones that are true for you, add your own to save or print. 

The Meeting Recovery Method. Five minutes to close out a meeting before it can follow you home. 

The Executive Summary Briefing. Five steps for the afternoon the pressure spikes.

There's more inside, including Which Tool, When, so you know which one to reach for when you need it.

Then, The 7-Day Reset
After you've named the noisemaker. 
Written your responses. 
And used the tools around that noise. 

You've completed the hard part; it's done. 

The noise may still come back at first. Old pathways don't dissolve overnight, and the 7-Day Reset is built for exactly that. 

Two days noticing it. Two days interrupting it. Two days going back to your own words. One line a day in the tracker. The best bit is that it takes seconds. 

On day seven, you'll check your notes and see what's been happening, and be able to say it out loud: the specific meeting, person, or hour of the day. 

That's the piece of your week where your Internal Authority gets the most practice, and now you'll know where it is, so next week, you can see it coming.
From Lynne

I'm Lynne Durham. Executive coach, hypnotist and EFT practitioner, with thirty years in corporate life before this work and nearly ten years coaching executives since.


I built the Protocol because I kept seeing something on calls. Capable women, doing the job well, running an old criticism on a loop in the background, and paying for it in hours and evenings.


What they needed was the voice named, answered, and given somewhere to go. That's what this Protocol does.

Questions people ask
  • Is this meditation or hypnosis?
    No. It's a written protocol: questions, worksheets, and a few short tools. If you love meditation, as I do, this sits happily beside it.
  • Do I have to answer all the questions?
    No. A few answers will get you through the next lesson. The questions that come up blank may be the loudest ones, and there's a page inside about what to do when that happens.
  • What if the noise comes back?
    It will, at first. That's the whole reason the seven days and the four tools exist, and there's a page for IF it comes back harder than when you started.

  • I don't have time for another program.
    When you begin by answering what feels right and what your time allows, you can start with as little as five minutes. The full audit takes about forty minutes max, and the rest is done in minutes at a time. It's built for people whose weeks are already full.

  • I've read the books on this. Why would this be different?
    A book may explain where the voice came from. That's great! All information is good information. This course gets more information out of your head; gives it a name and a date, then includes your own facts. You finish with a useful action and/or direction to read on the next wobbly evening.

  • Does anyone see what I write?
    No. There's no group, nothing to submit, and nothing to share. You can write a real manager's name on a worksheet, and it stays with you. Every tool is kept on your browser with options to save or print to your files.

  • How long do I have to complete the course?
    There's no hurry aside from your own needs. The Protocol is yours to keep, with no expiry.

Seven days to change your mind
Do the audit. Try a tool. If it does nothing for you, email me within seven days, and I'll refund the $39. 

No form to fill in, and no explaining yourself. Just tell me it wasn't for you.

Name the voice. Write your answers. Keep them close.
