"Seven core beliefs I've seen over and over in my coaching work that quietly keep even the most capable leaders from moving forward. Things like, "I don't belong here," or "I have to have all the answers," or "I can't slow down." These aren't just ideas. They're the stories we live out every day at work, often without realizing it."
"This conversation also gives you a sneak peek of my new book, Leadership Unblocked, which comes out on October 28th and is available for pre-order now. If you've ever wondered what's getting in your way or what's possible once you stop letting those old beliefs drive you, I think you'll really connect with this episode. So with that, let's jump into my discussion with the two Amys on Women at Work."
Seven core beliefs repeatedly surface in leaders' inner narratives and act as hidden blockers to progress. Examples include "I don't belong here," "I have to have all the answers," and "I can't slow down." These beliefs generate self-doubt, perfectionism, constant urgency, and recurring workplace challenges that constrain capable leaders. Recognizing such beliefs as stories rather than facts opens pathways to change. Coaching and candid reflection help reveal patterns, enable experimentation with different behaviors, and restore momentum. Letting go of limiting beliefs expands possibilities for more authentic, sustainable, and effective leadership.
