Send a textTen years ago, I called myself a coach for the first time.In this episode of Uncharted & Unfiltered, I’m reflecting on what that ten-year journey has taught me — not just about coaching, but about the patterns that shape how we lead, how we work, and how we treat ourselves.I share the story of a label I once wore as a badge of honour — the workhorse — and how that identity quietly shaped my choices, my pressure, and the way I moved through leadership and life.Inside this conversation, I explore:why certain patterns keep repeatingwhy most leaders don’t have behaviour problems, they have pattern problemsthe difference between managing symptoms and seeing what’s underneathhow the brain reinforces familiar loopswhy awareness is the first step toward real changeand why discomfort is often information, not instructionIf today’s episode resonates with you, I’ve included two resources in the show notes:• The Saboteur Assessment — a simple way to begin seeing the inner patterns that may be shaping your leadership • The TED Talk I mentioned in the episode — a powerful introduction to the ideas behind these patterns and how they operateAnd if you take the assessment, I’d genuinely love to hear what you discover.Many of the reflections that shape these episodes begin as emails I write to my community, so you’ll also find a link in the show notes to join my list if you’d like to stay connected between episodes.Because once we learn to see the pattern clearly, something powerful happens:Choice appears.Support the showPlease rate and review with your honest opinion.
