The Pattern You Can't See Is Sabotaging You
from The Liz Show: Executive Psychology & Performance Under Pressure
Send us Fan MailAre you aware that not understanding your patterns could be sabotaging your success? How can knowing your blindspots provide the leverage you need for career growth? Could understanding these aspects be the key to achieving high performance in your professional journey?Liz, an executive performance coach, explains that high performers often sabotage their growth due to pattherns they can't see. They build careers on blind spots that surface under pressure, not when things are stable, and that leaders frequently misdiagnose external symptoms instead of the underlying “pattern architecture.” He defines patterns as a trigger–interpretation–emotional/thought activation–behavior strategy loop, using revenue dips as an example where threat perception activates the amygdala, reduces prefrontal functioning, and drives overcontrol or panic. He distinguishes self-awareness from metacognition, contrasts behavior modification with identity repair (schema-level reconstruction), and connects biblical concepts (guarding the heart, renewing the mind, taking thoughts captive) to cognitive restructuring. The episode offers a diagnostic exercise to identify emotional spikes, interpretive meaning, coping strategies, and threatened needs, plus regulation tools like paced breathing and precise emotion labeling, while emphasizing that regulation creates access but identity repair creates lasting change.00:00 Blind Spots Under Pressure01:53 Pattern Loop Explained02:52 Revenue Dip Example04:05 Brain Under Threat06:58 Fast Change Coaching08:01 Metacognition and Meaning10:02 Identity Repair vs Habits12:54 Schemas and Core Beliefs16:29 Why High Performers Struggle18:57 Diagnostic Exercise Steps21:10 Regulation Tools Window24:08 Biblical and Clinical Renewal29:27 Scaling Needs Stable Identity31:19 Work With Me ClosingSupport the showPlease leave me a review on Apple Podcast! ***LET'S CONNECT:***Checkout My Courses: Sign up for my Newsletter Website:Facebook:Tik-Tok - Instagram: Youtube: LinkedIn personal profile:
