Summary

Most high achievers don't have a skills problem. They have a belief problem — and the scariest part? The very belief that made them successful is often the one quietly holding them back. Muriel Wilkins is an executive coach with over 20 years of experience, co-founder of Paravis Partners, host of the Coaching Real Leaders podcast, and author of Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs That Limit Your Potential. She has coached some of the most accomplished leaders in the corporate world — and what she keeps finding is that the ceiling isn't strategy. It's a story.

0:00.0	A lot of high achievers, the reasons why they are high achievers, myself included, is because they have lived most of their life trying to fix what's not okay.
0:09.2	So there's actually a resistance to believing that you're going to be okay because then what?
0:13.0	Does that mean I stop working?
0:14.2	Does I mean I stop pushing?
0:15.7	Does that mean I become passive?
0:17.0	No, it doesn't.
0:18.1	You just hold it differently.
0:19.4	You hold it.
0:20.2	That's the big unlock. You hold it with a lot
0:23.5	more lightness. You still keep doing what you're doing. But you're not bringing to it all the,

0:34.8	Today's guest is Muriel Wilkins, executive coach, co-founders of Perivist Partners, host of the coaching real leaders podcast, and the author of the brand new book, Leadership Unblocked, Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential.

1:08.3	I have to warn you, we go deep and we go deep fast in this
1:12.6	episode. I think that when you get to a level of maturity as a leader, as an individual, when you
1:18.9	really start cracking the code of how to lead or even how to live, it goes back to, I'm not
1:25.0	religious, but it goes back to one of the very few things I remember from my Christian upbringing, which is you've got to be in this world, but not necessarily of it.
1:33.2	This conversation is going to challenge the way that you see yourself as a leader. And I mean that in the best possible way. Let's get into it.
1:44.1	When you think about mindset and this it's it's been so buzzwordy that I think
1:50.9	a lot of folks have assumptions about what it means before people even talk about it. So when you
