ABOUT THIS EPISODE
“If we want better results, we have to examine the stories and assumptions driving our behavior.” - Winnie da Silva
Some leadership challenges don’t start with strategy or communication, but rather they start with the stories we’re telling ourselves. The assumptions running quietly in the background about who I am, who other people are, and how things work.
In this episode, I explore how those internal narratives shape our behavior, influence our leadership, and ultimately impact the results we get. I also break down how changing the story can lead to completely different outcomes.
You’ll hear me discuss:
- How the stories we tell ourselves shape our behavior and results
- The three types of stories that influence leadership decisions every day
- Why certain problems keep repeating until we challenge the assumptions underneath them
- How stories about other people affect trust, collaboration, and conflict
- The importance of catching ourselves in the moment and questioning our assumptions
- Why curiosity is far more productive than self-judgment when trying to grow as a leader
- How adopting a new story can create better behaviors and better outcomes
