Leadership Foresight: How to See the Storm Before It Hits

Does a new limiting belief at every new level of leadership mean you don't belong there? New level, new devil: here's how foresight keeps you steady. Left unexamined, that doubt costs you your footing, and the people counting on you feel it first. In this episode, Dr. Denise Simpson unpacks the myth that the discomfort of a new level means you've overreached, why it feels so true when the wind picks up, and how foresight and self-awareness help leaders stay steady on the rooftop.

You'll hear the rooftop analogy that came out of a conversation with a longtime client, why your vantage point has nothing to do with hierarchy or superiority, and the question to ask yourself in any room: "Am I standing on the roof right now?"
