You’re ready to grow. So why does it still feel impossible to move forward?
In this empowering episode of Bad Bosses, Great Leaders, coach and author Hilda Fainsod shares how leaders can get out of their own way by learning to identify and interrupt the mental saboteurs that keep them stuck. Drawing from her years of coaching executives through change, Hilda explains how to lead yourself first, especially when the road ahead feels unclear or overwhelming.
We explore:
- Why “what got you here won’t get you there” is more than a cliché
- How fear disguises itself as procrastination and perfectionism
- The 3 C’s of defeating self-sabotage: catch, cancel, correct
- What happens in the brain when we try to change too much too fast
- Why small, consistent steps build momentum and trust in yourself
This episode is a practical and compassionate guide for any leader who’s wrestling with doubt, transition, or the pressure to “do it all.”
