Identity Blindness: The Illusion Of Yourself

Video Description

When was the last time you really looked in the mirror—not checking your appearance, but truly seeing who you actually are versus who you think you are? 90% of professionals rate themselves as above average in interpersonal skills, yet only 15% of leaders' self-assessments align with how their teams actually experience them. We're living in a collective delusion about our own impact. In this episode, I explore "Identity Blindness," the dangerous gap between who we think we are and who we actually show up as in the world. I share my own moment of reckoning when feedback revealed I was domineering, thinking I was being helpful, and I break down the four most common identity delusions that might be sabotaging your leadership. You'll learn: Why don't other people interact with your intentions? (They interact with your actual behavior) The four patterns of identity blindness (which one are you?) How to recognize when your self-perception is out of alignment Five diagnostic questions to reveal your blind spots Why accurate self-perception is the foundation of authentic leadership The mirror in your mind is a funhouse mirror; it distorts, it flatters, it shows you what you want to see. But there's tremendous freedom in seeing yourself clearly, even when what you see isn't what you hoped for. Because you can't manage what you can't see, you can't improve what you won't acknowledge. And you can't lead others effectively if you don't understand how you actually affect them. Ready to see who you really are? 🔔 Subscribe for more insights on career growth and conscious leadership!
