| 6/12/26 | ![]() S4e03 Decoding Your Blindspots with Martin Dubin | Have you been super successful … and yet felt stuck?When I ask leaders, ‘What is REALLY getting in your way?’, there is usually a long pause before they say … ‘MYSELF’. The reason? The very same things that enabled our success… stop working as effectively as they used to.I’ve seen leaders go from ‘HERO’ to ‘ZERO’ way too often in organizations. There are some consistent underlying themes I see.🚫 The leader has blind spots but is clueless about it. The more senior you get, no one wants to tell you about it either.🚫 These blindspots cascade into behaviors, often resulting in poorer choices, actions and decisions🚫 Blindspots blur the lines between assumptions, prejudices, biases and facts, resulting in non evidence-based decisions or actions🚫 Under pressure, especially in crises, their blindspots often take the wheel …and they have no idea that it is happening 🚫 Others often see their blindspots way before the leaders themselves do. 🚫 Best case - it affects your career and future. Worst case - it has a corrosive effect on your team and organization. Either way, addressing it is pivotal to your future success.We all have blind spots, but we don’t usually know what they are, how they hold us back or how to overcome them. If you’ve ever felt stuck, this one is for you. Join me as we take a scientist’s approach to our mind and decode the blind spots that prevent us from achieving our goals with Marty Dubin. He is a clinical psychologist, a serial entrepreneur, a business coach and author of the best seller Blindspotting. He is on a mission to empower people by unlocking their self awareness.In this episode, we dig into:✅ Marty’s successful healthcare company, and how his blindspots inadvertently almost killed it✅ His passion for unlocking self awareness in others as the grounding force of leadership ✅ How to decode your blindspots (what are the clues you should look for)✅ How to understand your ‘motive’ blindspots and how we lie to ourselves (Why do we really do what we do)✅ How to understand the chasm between our intent and our impact. (Why do we say one thing…and do another…and not know it?)✅ How to make sense when your motives are in conflict with each other✅ How do you know if you are overplaying your strengths to the point of them becoming your derailers✅ How to figure out your need for power and whether it is productive or corrosive✅ We explore all the above through the journeys of many leaders. I am sure some of these stories will mirror your own.✅ A thought provoking Rapid Fire segment Don’t miss out on this amazingly educational, alarming, yet inspiring episode‼️About Martin Dubin:Martin Dubin is a clinical psychologist, serial entrepreneur, business coach, and adviser to C-suite executives and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs. He is the author of Blindspotting: How to see what’s holding you back as a leader, published July 2025 by Harvard Business Review Press. His writing has appeared in Entrepreneur Magazine and Fast Company, and he writes a monthly blog for Psychology Today.After a decade in private practice, he cofounded and was CEO of a company they grew to $50M and sold to a Fortune 100 public company. A former coach at the Center for Creative Leadership and a partner at talent firm RHR International, he worked directly with hundreds of C-suite senior executives from Fortune 500 companies and with Silicon Valley venture capital firms and their portfolio companies.About Shahana Banerjee:Shahana is a Strategic Advisor, Certified Executive Coach and member of the elite Forbes Coaches Council.

Try this 👇🤔 Which of these symbolizes courage to you?🔺Rushing into a burning building to save livesor🔺Publishing a book and opening yourself up to global judgement and criticism 🔺Serving as a medic and saving lives in a war zoneor🔺Being vulnerable at work. Letting your team see the real you🔺Bungee jumping, sky diving, parasailing or🔺Being a whistleblower You are smart. You know the answer. Each of these instances takes extraordinary courage.🤔The thing about courage though…We primarily think of physical courage as THE defining form of courage We set an unrealistic threshold of what is courageous We reserve our adulation and recognition for the highest forms of physical courage, while unintentionally undervaluing the everyday courage that ultimately changes the world🤔Why is that a problem?👉 It makes courage inaccessible to most👉 It undervalues the very daily acts of courage that go on to shape the mega acts of courage we ultimately applaudThat’s why I love Ranjay’s book. It demystifies courage and makes it accessible to all. It is also practical as it helps you explore your own sources of courage.His epiphany, as I hope is true for you too is “I too can be courageous”This wisdom packed episode with Ranjay is the perfect launch for our Season 4 of The Mindful Leadership Podcast ‼️🔥 In this episode we dig into what happens when DEEP PURPOSE meets INDOMITABLE COURAGE, why leaders and organizations anchor around their purpose, how they create impact through meaningful action and so much more.You will be glued till the end, I promise‼️About Ranjay Gulati:Ranjay Gulati is the Paul R.

At the same time, his research has inspired individuals to unlock possibilities by aligning their own personal purpose with that of their organizations.The Economist, the Financial Times, and the Economist Intelligence Unit have listed him as among the top handful of business school scholars whose work is most relevant to management practice. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his scholarly research and teaching, including recognition by Thinkers50 as a top management scholar and the CK Prahalad Award for Scholarly Impact on Practice in 2024.

| 9/10/23 | ![]() S2E01: Not the science type with Jayshree Seth, Chief Science Advocate, 3M | 40% said that their lives would be no different… WITHOUT SCIENCE‼️🤯 (Survey by 3M) It is easy to dismiss skeptics.

It is even harder to make the invisibility of science visible and tangible for people, and HUMANIZE science so that people can relate to it, and see how science enables every minute of their day.
