Today I’m pleased to announce the launch of a new writing series in which I’ll be exploring the intersection of the science of psychology and business success. The first piece in the series is now live on Psychology Today under the title “Are You Suffering from Promotion Grief?”. In this article I explore why a promotion brings with it the challenge of adjusting our identity to align with the new role. Our identity determines what we prioritize, what we pay attention to, and how we define our work relationships. Assuming the new role without evaluating how our identity needs to evolve leaves us at-risk of stalling or derailing our career.

As I traveled across Helsinki, Copenhagen, Stockholm, and London, I met hundreds of leaders eager to move past surface-level leadership formulas. What I found was remarkable consistency in their questions and insights — a shared recognition that genuine growth starts with self-awareness.

In recent conversations on The Accidental Trainer, Career Contessa, and Getting to Yes, And, I explored how leadership blindspots affect HR leaders and the organizations they support—shaping everything from talent development to workplace culture.

I’m honored to be featured in Forbes in an interview with Rodger Dean Duncan about my book Blindspotting: How to See What’s Holding You Back as a Leader. We explored why self-awareness isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s essential to effective leadership.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Vikas Shah for Thought Economics, where we explored the deeper psychological forces that shape leadership—and how blind spots can quietly limit our impact. Vikas brings intellectual curiosity and nuance to every conversation, and I was honored to be part of his long-running series of in-depth interviews.
This groundbreaking book bridges psychology and executive coaching to help you uncover hidden patterns, break through limitations, and lead with greater clarity.
