The Remarkable Leadership Podcast Seeing Your Blind Spots with Marisa Murray
Blind spots—easy to see in others, but how do we recognize our own? Marisa Murray joins Kevin to explore strategies for uncovering and addressing blind spots. Murray outlines seven types of blind spots and shares examples. These include false assumptions, unhealthy detachment, differing views of success, outdated core beliefs, unconscious habits, triggers from past pain, and mismatched mindsets. She highlights the importance of recognizing how others perceive our actions versus our intentions. Murray suggests we move from feedback to impact statements to address blind spots.
