| 0:00.0 | I'm Muriel Wilkins, executive coach and host of coaching real leaders. |
| 0:05.9 | And if there's one thing I know, it's this. |
| 0:08.6 | All leaders get blocked at some point in their career. |
| 0:12.2 | When it comes down to C-suite or board, the insecurity will come out a little bit more. |
| 0:17.6 | And I will start this internal loop of second guessing and deciding when to speak or what to say. |
| 0:23.4 | And then I end up either saying nothing or worse kind of saying something I'm not very proud of. |
| 0:28.9 | I've asked for feedback about this. And from my immediate managers, I get told that I need to work on my visibility. But more recently, |
| 0:41.3 | I'm doubting that the visibility is the real feedback that I need to hear. I don't have any of |
| 0:49.0 | that natural drive to want to be the boss. I'm finding as I do this role that I'm good at it in some respects. |
| 0:57.0 | I guess part of it is I don't know do I want to really commit to this to being C-suite. |
| 1:04.7 | When leaders face challenges, I'm here to help. |
| 1:08.0 | This season will tackle issues like imposter syndrome, getting tough feedback, |
| 1:12.7 | and how to manage your former peers. You'll hear me coach these leaders from feeling stuck |
| 1:17.9 | to actionable solutions. Seeing it from somebody else's point of view is always such a huge help |
| 1:24.5 | when you have tunnel vision, you know, thinking that the way you do everything is |
| 1:29.0 | the only way and the correct way versus what reality is. You've helped me get to a point where I can |
| 1:37.2 | identify sort of the vague sense of dis-ease or discomfort that I've had around my role and look at resources and tools that I |
| 1:48.3 | have at my disposal. I feel like I have clarity. I feel like I have work to do. I feel like I have a |
| 1:57.7 | plan. Listen in on a whole new series of coaching conversations. |
| 2:03.0 | Season 10 of Coaching Real Leaders starts on September 22nd. |
