Ep 93: Why the Strongest Leaders Are Built in the Repair (Not the Perfection)

Let me just say it: you are not going to get it right every time as a leader. Not even close. And honestly? That's not the problem. The problem is what happens when you don't repair it.In this episode of The Unlock Lab, I talk about where the real strength in leadership actually lives, and spoiler alert, it's not in being perfect. It's in the repair and the correction. The willingness to say, "Yeah, I messed that up," and then actually do something about it.In this episode I share a personal story from 24 years of living with Type 1 diabetes that changed how I think about mistakes, and why I had to learn to expect the overcorrection before I could take my power back. It's messy. It's not binary. And there is absolutely no such thing as perfect. In this episode we cover:→ Why fear of messing up keeps leaders stuck in avoidance (and how to get out of it)→ The childhood messages that shaped your belief system around mistakes→ Why brushing off your mistakes is a cop-out, and what courage looks like→ How repair and correction can leapfrog the strength of your relationships at work→ Where to start if you have no idea how to make it rightThis is the work. And I'm here for all of it with you.🔔 If this episode hit home, subscribe and leave a review, it means the world and helps other leaders find their way here too.📩 Have questions or want to keep the conversation going?
