Description

Ever feel stuck at work but can’t quite put your finger on why? In this episode, executive coach and Leadership Unblocked author Muriel Wilkins explains the invisible blockers that stand between you and your full potential. She shares why a “perception gap” can hold you back even more than a skills gap — and how you can start coaching yourself to break through those hidden barriers.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your biggest blocker might be a perception gap, not a skill gap
  • How to self-coach when self-doubt creeps in
  • The key questions that help you lead from the inside out
