5 Myths About Leadership That Are Holding You Back [080]
Description
Over my time as a leadership coach, I’ve heard from many emerging leaders what appear (to them) to be very valid reasons as to why they’re not ready for leadership. They might say, “I don’t know all I need to know yet”, “I’m not extroverted enough”, or “I don’t have the title of a leader”. These are all myths, or mis-truths, about leadership that WILL hold you back. They keep you playing small. They make you believe that you’re not capable enough to be a leader.
The reality is, anyone can be a leader. But in order to get there, you must overcome these mental hurdles that are in your way. So in this episode, I delve deep into five common myths that could be holding you back from a leadership position. I also share simple strategies to help you get out of these blocks.
