🎧 Episode 178: Coaching Yourself – 5 Questions to Unlock the Next Level of Your Potential

In this solo episode, I share the five most powerful coaching questions you can ask yourself to move beyond your current limitations and step into the leader you’re meant to be.

If you’re a director aiming for VP, or a VP preparing to step into the C-Suite, these questions will help you break through self-imposed barriers, sharpen your mindset, and embody the presence required to lead at the next level.

I talk honestly about the stories that hold us back, why mediocrity creeps in so quietly, and the bold moves that too many leaders avoid. You’ll also hear neuroscience-backed insights on rewiring your thinking and practical reflection prompts you can use immediately.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re capable of more but don’t know what’s standing in your way, this conversation will give you clarity, courage, and a clear path forward.

We explore:

• Why your greatest obstacle is usually yourself
• How to rewrite the stories you’ve been telling yourself
• The simple visualization technique that rewires your brain for the role you want
• Where mediocrity hides in your leadership, and how to eliminate it
• How to embody executive presence that attracts opportunity
• Why bold moves and fear always travel together
• A weekly framework to self-coach and accelerate your growth

🔑 Key takeaways:

• Your thoughts shape your reality, challenge them before they limit you
• Acting “as if” rewires your brain to lead from your future identity
• What you tolerate, you endorse, raise your standards first in yourself
• Opportunities are attracted to who you’re becoming, not just what you know
• The bold move you’re avoiding is usually the breakthrough you need

💡 Quotes to remember:

• “Your next level isn’t waiting for permission, it’s waiting for you to start asking better questions.”
• “Growth and fear always travel together.”
