Ep 300 The Leadership Lesson I Almost Missed

Episode notes

What if the biggest blind spot in your leadership isn’t a missing skill, but something you can’t see about yourself? I learned that lesson the hard way, in an ordinary conversation with a family member. In the moment, I thought it went fine. Weeks later, she told me I had shut her down, a moment I didn’t even remember happening, and never meant to cause. In this milestone 300th episode of the Life Fulfilled Podcast, I go solo to mark the occasion, and unpack a lesson nearly 30 years of studying leadership never fully settled for me: self-awareness is not something you earn once. It’s a daily practice, and it decides whether your influence on the people around you makes them stronger, or heavier. This story also points to a harder truth. Most people won’t tell you when your influence has weighed them down. They’ll just quietly carry it.
