What if I told you that 95% of your leadership decisions aren't actually yours? In this raw and revelatory episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible cultural conditioning that's been running your leadership show from behind the scenes. After years of coaching global executives and my own journey from perfectionist performer to authentic leader, I've discovered that most of us are leading from someone else's script – and it's time to rewrite the story.

Your leadership presence and emotional mastery depend on understanding these hidden rules that operate beneath your awareness, shaping everything from your attachment styles to your team dynamics.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn the four-step process for identifying and unlearning cultural conditioning that's limiting your leadership authenticity and keeping you stuck in performance mode
• Discover how unconscious childhood experiences create automatic leadership behaviors like micromanagement, delegation challenges, and emotional distance in team connections
• Uncover the difference between adapting from fear versus making intentional choices from a place of self-awareness and grounded leadership

What if I told you that the most successful leaders are often the ones people fear most? In this raw and revealing episode of Leadership Presence, I pull back the curtain on how early childhood experiences and attachment styles create unconscious behavior patterns that can turn brilliant executives into emotional time bombs. Through the gripping story of "Derek" - a charismatic leader whose childhood wounds turned boardroom meetings into minefields - you'll discover why your body keeps the score of every unhealed experience and how these invisible patterns are sabotaging your leadership authenticity.

This isn't your typical leadership advice - this is the deep, transformative inner work that separates reactive managers from truly impactful leaders who build trust through vulnerability and emotional mastery.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Learn how to identify the unconscious behavior patterns from your childhood that are creating leadership limitations and damaging team dynamics
• Discover the 5-step process for recognizing emotional triggers and transforming survival-based reactions into conscious leadership choices
• Uncover why micromanagement, delegation challenges, and hyper-independence often stem from early attachment styles and how to rewire these patterns for grounded leadership

This deep dive into the unconscious patterns that shape our leadership is just the beginning of your inner work journey. When you start recognizing these old wounds and survival strategies, you create space for the kind of grounded leadership that transforms not just your own experience, but the entire culture around you.

What childhood patterns might be quietly running your leadership show, and how different could your impact be once you bring them into conscious awareness?
