A leader cannot expand the capacity of an organization beyond their ability of expanding their own capacity.

So it's always about like, who do you want to be as a leader?

How do you want others to experience you?

And how do you want to experience yourself?

And then reverse engineer that, not just in terms of what you do, but how you're thinking about what you do.

And you'll often find that it's the thinking, the belief that really needs to change in order for the action to be sustainable.

From the news team at LinkedIn, I'm Jesse Hempel, and this is Hello Monday.

At the start of the year, I asked you to do something deceptively simple.

I asked you to imagine your dream job. Not the title or the salary, but the work itself. You know, how you spend your days.

So I've gotten a lot of emails this week and a lot of you wrote to say some version of the same thing.

I can picture it, but I don't quite believe that it's possible for me.

I don't know how I could get there.

Well, that gap is what we're going to dig into today.

This episode is about blocking beliefs.

Those are the stories we carry that limit what we reach

for and really how we lead. You know, they're rarely irrational. In fact, most of them once

protected us in some way. They helped us to succeed or to get promoted. The problem is that

as we grow, those beliefs, they don't always grow with us.

Unblocking them really is about noticing what's no longer serving you and doing the study

and sometimes uncomfortable work of choosing differently.

Now to help us do that, I am joined today by Muriel Wilkins.

Muriel is an executive coach and the founder and CEO of ParaVis Partners.
