Every leader has blind spots. But few realise that hidden within them lies the key to authentic power.
The Wake-Up Call
Have you ever been blindsided by a truth so simple yet so profound that it changed everything about how you see yourself and your leadership?
After more than two decades of pioneering success in Iceland, I discovered a truth about myself that I had been completely unaware of. I was a workaholic.
This realisation was painful yet liberating. It forced me to confront a hidden blind spot that had quietly limited my wellbeing and my ability to lead fully.
The Hidden Pattern of High Achievers
Many high-achieving leaders share this hidden pattern without even realising it. The relentless drive to succeed can sometimes mask deeper imbalances in how we operate and show up.
Ignoring these blind spots keeps leaders trapped in cycles of burnout, disconnection, and frustration.
The first step toward transformation is radical honesty with yourself. Accepting your blind spots is not a sign of weakness but a courageous act of evolving leadership.
Radical Honesty: The Gateway to Growth
Evolving leadership, what I call TruePower Leadership, demands that we become more present, more balanced, and more authentic in every moment. It invites us to move beyond outdated models of leadership based solely on performance and control. Instead, TruePower Leadership integrates presence, wellbeing, and deep self-awareness.
From Workaholism to Wholeness
For me, this meant committing to a self-leadership journey that transformed my workaholic tendencies into a balanced state of wholeness. This journey is ongoing and requires consistent attention and care. It is a path of awakening to what is happening within me and around me.
Through this process, I have learned that true power comes from presence, not from doing more or pushing harder. It is from this place of grounded power that we can inspire and impact others most effectively.
The Power Alchemist’s Perspective
The Power Alchemist archetype that I embody calls me to share this wisdom generously.
I see the pieces of the leadership puzzle that clients often miss, especially their limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns.
Supporting leaders through this transformation requires empathy, boldness, and a deep commitment to their growth. It also requires me to hold accountability and presence without attachment to specific outcomes.
The Courage to See What You’ve Ignored
TruePower Leadership is about embracing paradoxes: strength and vulnerability, action and stillness, ambition and balance.
If you find yourself feeling unfulfilled despite external success, it is time to look deeper.
Your hidden blind spots may be silently undermining your potential and wellbeing.
I invite you to pause and take full responsibility for one hidden blind spot today.
This small act of ownership can spark a powerful shift in your leadership and life.
