As a leader, you’ve probably found yourself frustrated at times, wondering why employees don’t meet expectations, peers are slow to act, or pressure from your boss falls unfairly on your shoulders. It’s easy to point a finger at others and double down on getting results. But have you ever considered that the problem may not be them—it may be you?

 

Through two decades of coaching executives, Muriel M. Wilkins has pinpointed the biggest reason behind common leadership challenges: hidden blockers.

 

In Leadership Unblocked, she reveals seven unconscious beliefs that hold leaders back, from “I know I’m right” to “I need to be involved” to “I don’t belong here.” Combining powerful coaching conversations and research from the fields of neuroscience, leadership, and adult development theory, Wilkins offers a road map for identifying, unpacking, and breaking through these barriers.

 

On December 4, Wilkins will join us to share practical approaches drawn from two decades of coaching leaders, enabling us all to finally cultivate the right mindset to achieve our goals and move ahead.
