162 The Invisible Rules We Live and Work By with Barb Patterson
Update: 2025-10-24
Description
We all carry invisible rules, the quiet assumptions that shape how we live, work, and measure success.
In this episode, Barb shares a story from a recent leadership retreat that revealed three powerful but often unseen beliefs:
• that speed equals excellence,
• that output equals worth, and
• that what worked before should still work now.
These hidden rules can fuel stress and overdrive, even when everything looks “successful” on the surface.
When we start to see them clearly, something shifts.
We discover that true excellence lives in clarity, not velocity - in presence, not proving.
