Is That Really True? Challenging the Stories You’re Telling Yourself

About this episode

The episode discusses how the stories we tell ourselves influence our leadership and beliefs.

Have you ever noticed how quickly your mind fills in the blanks about a situation, about another person, or about yourself? Almost instantly, your brain writes a story. And most of the time, you don't even realize it's happening. But those stories shape everything: how you lead, what you believe is possible, and how far you're willing to go.
