“I Know I’m Right” and Other Hidden Blockers, with Muriel Wilkins

What unseen patterns can erode a leader’s clarity, confidence, and impact? Often, it’s not external obstacles but the hidden beliefs we carry. In this episode, Scott talks with executive coach, author, and Coaching Real Leaders podcast host Muriel Wilkins about the inner game of leadership.

Muriel shares her journey from fast-rising executive to sought-after coach, why she wrote her new book Leadership Unblocked, and the seven “hidden blockers” that quietly hold leaders back, including the trap of always needing to be right. Together, she and Scott explore how to shift from single-loop to double-loop learning, why curiosity is the posture that unlocks clarity, and the small but powerful routines that help leaders see themselves—and their systems—more clearly.
