055: Limiting Beliefs to Liberating Mindsets: Uncovering What We Can't See
Manage episode 481051967 series 3569873
Ever searched frantically for glasses perched on your head or keys clutched in your hand? These everyday moments reflect a deeper truth about human perception: scotomas—cognitive blind spots that hide crucial realities in plain sight.
In this eye-opening conversation, we explore how these blind spots create resistance and limit our potential. We share a humbling personal story—a moment when, despite being “the boss applesauce” with all the trappings of success, failing a simple perception exercise became a spine-straightening catalyst for transformation. It wasn’t a test of intelligence but of awareness—the ability to see what’s right in front of you.
These blind spots often appear where you’re working hard but not breaking through—where familiar efforts yield the same frustrating results. They're usually rooted in outdated beliefs drawn from past emotional experiences and misapplied to present challenges. The good news? You can overcome them—through appreciative inquiry, outside perspective, and targeted exercises that turn insight into action.
We dive deep into practical strategies for uncovering what you can’t yet see—especially in those areas that keep you up at night. By replacing limiting beliefs with liberating ones, goals that once felt impossible become attainable. Just like the story we share—of rising from commission-based sales to CEO—transformation comes incrementally, as you learn to run toward the roar instead of away from it.
Ready to uncover what’s been hiding in plain sight? Listen now and discover how shifting your perception might just be your greatest competitive edge—and the key to unlocking your next breakthrough.
