In this episode of The Rebound, we are diving into the first letter of the STEVIT acronym: “S” for Know Thy Self. Coach Matt Doherty opens up about a career setback that became the catalyst for deep personal growth and authentic leadership, fueling necessary changes that have made all the difference in his life.

Through the story of a pivotal coaching session after being let go from UNC, we hear how brutal honesty and a Myers-Briggs assessment cracked open a journey of self-discovery. Today's episode will remind you that knowing yourself isn’t just self-awareness...it’s self-honesty.

Practical tools like journaling, executive coaching, and 360° feedback are explored as pathways to uncover blind spots and lead more effectively, emphasizing that leadership isn’t a title, but a discipline practiced that needs to be practice on a daily basis.

Today, we challenge you to reflect on your leadership habits and ask the hard questions: “What am I pretending not to know?” and “What’s it like to be on the other side of me?” 

Key Takeaways:

  • Knowing yourself is the foundation of strong, authentic leadership.
  • Self-honesty is more powerful than self-awareness alone.
  • Feedback—even painful feedback—is essential to growth.
  • Journaling, assessments, and coaching are valuable self-leadership tools.
  • Leadership is a daily discipline, not a one-time action.
  • Asking others for truth about yourself requires courage and deep listening.
