Ep 6 — Executive Coach Corner — Breaking the Victim Story & Owning Your Impact

A summary of a recent Executive Coach Corner session on what to do when a client is stuck in a victim story — the running narrative that nothing works, everyone's against them, and none of it is their fault. The conversation unpacks a deceptively simple intervention: asking "what's the purpose of this communication?" to help someone notice the story they're telling and how committed they are to being right about it. You'll hear why "all bad behavior is the unskilled expression of an unmet need," how to help someone give up their right to be right and construct a new narrative, and why owning your impact — not just your good intentions — is what actually rebuilds trust with a team.
