Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — Why I Transitioned From Psychotherapist to Executive Coach
In my latest entry for the Psychology Today Blindspotting blog, I share the story of how I gradually moved from 15 years as a licensed clinical psychologist into a new professional identity as an executive coach. It wasn't a clean break from psychology — it was a recognition that the parts of myself drawn to understanding why people do what they do could shape entire teams and organizations, not just one person at a time.
Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — Don't Let Emotions Derail Corporate AI Transformation
In my sixth entry for the Psychology Today Blindspotting blog, I make the case that the biggest risk in corporate AI transformation isn't the technology — it's the failure to understand how employees emotionally and psychologically respond to it. While organizations race to implement AI across operations and decision-making, most are overlooking the human variable that determines whether adoption succeeds or fails.
Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — Why Leadership Traits Don't Determine a Successful Leader
In my latest entry for the Psychology Today Blindspotting blog, I challenge a pervasive assumption in leadership development: that the right combination of traits is what makes someone an effective leader.

In my fourth entry for the Psychology Today Blindspotting blog, I reframe one of the most common complaints I hear from executives: not enough time.

Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — The Hidden Costs of Your Greatest Strengths
In the second entry of my ongoing blog series for Psychology Today, I explore a counterintuitive idea: the strengths that help us succeed can also quietly work against us. When traits like confidence, curiosity, decisiveness, or empathy go unchecked, they can become blind spots that limit growth rather than fuel it.
Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — The Psychology Behind Why Founders Fail as They Scale
In the latest entry of my ongoing blog series for Psychology Today, I examine a familiar but often misunderstood pattern: why founders who excel at starting companies frequently struggle as their organizations grow. The issue is rarely a lack of intelligence, drive, or vision—it’s a psychological mismatch between the skills that fuel early success and those required to lead at scale.
Psychology Today Blindspotting Blog — Are You Suffering from Promotion Grief?
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.
Glimpses from the European Book Tour
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.
Forbes: Why Self-Awareness is a Leadership Imperative
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.
