Strengthen your relational capacity, illuminate the blind spots affecting your influence, and unlock your next level of potential.
I'm Meegan ~ former EAP Counsellor, Manager, and Workplace Wellbeing Practitioner, specializing in Self-Leadership that transforms your influence and the culture around you.
"I believe leadership is more than a role... it is a practice that requires on-going support and refinement."
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.
When you shift how you see, interpret and project.
Your internal stance becomes:
-
The invisible blueprint others use to navigate you safely
-
Your "felt presence" that sets the tone for your team’s level of engagement
-
The permission structure that allows you & others to expand into their full potential

THE FOUR DIMENSIONS OF POSITIVE PROJECTION™
My name is Meegan Heart.
I help leaders deepen self-awareness and master the relational craft of leadership so wellbeing ripples through their teams.
My proprietary model is lived, clinical, and deeply informed by what actually happens inside workplaces.
I bring nearly 20 years of experience as a former EAP Counsellor, Manager, and Workplace Wellbeing Specialist. I have worked alongside executives, HR leaders, frontline staff, and senior teams across Aotearoa, supporting them through burnout, conflict, change, and complex relational dynamics.
I understand the psycho-emotional load of leadership because I have seen it from every angle.
My background integrates:
• A Master’s in Solution-Focused Practice
• Clinical-level language/dialog expertise
• Positive Psychology and the PERMA wellbeing framework
• Social neuroscience
• Leadership and people management experience
• Deep organisational wellbeing insight
• My proprietary Positive Projection™ model
This allows me to work at the level most leadership development misses: perception, relational climate, and psychological safety.
Leaders tell me they value working with me because I am calm, clear, and grounded. I balance warmth with challenge, and practice what I teach.
I support you to become the kind of leader that people thrive around.
When you shift how relate to yourself and others, psychological safety, engagement and wellbeing follow.
This is the future of leadership.
