  • Childhood Attachment: How Culture Shapes Your Leadership
    Jul 10 2025

    What if I told you that 95% of your leadership decisions aren't actually yours? In this raw and revelatory episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the invisible cultural conditioning that's been running your leadership show from behind the scenes. After years of coaching global executives and my own journey from perfectionist performer to authentic leader, I've discovered that most of us are leading from someone else's script – and it's time to rewrite the story.

    Your leadership presence and emotional mastery depend on understanding these hidden rules that operate beneath your awareness, shaping everything from your attachment styles to your team dynamics.

    In this episode, you will be able to:

    • Learn the four-step process for identifying and unlearning cultural conditioning that's limiting your leadership authenticity and keeping you stuck in performance mode
    • Discover how unconscious childhood experiences create automatic leadership behaviors like micromanagement, delegation challenges, and emotional distance in team connections
    • Uncover the difference between adapting from fear versus making intentional choices from a place of self-awareness and grounded leadership
