Blind spots are costing leaders more than they realise.

​

We all have blind spots because they are part of being human.

But when your blind spots go unchecked, the impact is amplified simply because leadership carries influence. 

​

Small distortions can quickly ripple outward within the workplace ecosystem which inadvertently affects relational dynamics.

​

One of the most common blind spots I see is perception bias.

​

When we are under pressure, stressed, tired, or stretched, our perception narrows, meaning we fill in gaps quickly - faster than we can accurately perceive.

We can make negative assumptions, and once a perception forms, we relate through it a bit like a filtering system.

​

That perception then also becomes the invisible blueprint others use to navigate us. 

​

I've worked with leaders who deeply value their people, yet unintentionally limit them through subtle assumptions. I have also supported leaders who thought they were being clear, only to discover their emotional signal was being experienced as threat. 

​

Self-awareness is key because gives you more accuracy in the way you interact with people.

​

And people can feel it when they are being seen as they truly are.

This strengthens psychological safety, deepens trust, and grows people's potential.

​

​

Blind spots are also about how you see yourself.​

​

Many leaders carry old narratives and lead from identities formed years ago, sometimes even decades ago. 

​

Sometimes the blind spot can be an identity you have created that is no longer a true reflection of who you are - where you find that masking now uses up too much of your energy.

​

Seeing yourself accurately means recognising both distortion and potential.​

​

This is where Positive Projection™ comes in.

Underpinned by my masters degree in Solution-focused Practice, I hold leaders in a stance of potential meaning that I relate to you not only as you are, but as who you are capable of being. And I help you see what you may not yet see in yourself.

​

When you see yourself accurately your identity is free to shift into becoming more of who you truly are:

• You lead with more agency (calm & embodied)

• You speak with more clarity (people really listen)

• You influence with more intention (presence)

• And the people around you feel the difference

​

In summary:

​Blind spots shape how you see others and they also shape how you see yourself.

​

Left unchecked, they quietly erode relationships and growth.

​

But when you are willing to examine the identity you lead from, you regain choice and accuracy.

​

Positive Projection™ is about intentional perception - seeing yourself and others accurately, through potential rather than distortion.

​

When people are perceived in alignment with their potential, they expand. This is proven.

​

Essentially, this work is about helping you become more of who you truly are.

​

Because leadership is a relational craft and it begins with your relationship with you.
