“Our mindset doesn’t live in silence. It speaks.” That’s something I shared in my TEDx talk.
And in leadership, those quiet beliefs? They speak the loudest — in how we hire, who we trust, and what we reward.
We often treat unconscious drivers as something we just need to notice but awareness alone is enough. Because when outdated beliefs go unchallenged, they don’t just sit quietly. It shows up in culture, in people and in performance.
Here’s what that can cost:
Innovation: if we only listen to the loudest most familiar voices, we miss ideas from those who think, or speak, differently.
Retention: When people feel they have to “fit in” to be accepted, they eventually burn out or opt out.
Credibility: Leaders who don’t question their assumptions risk losing trust, especially in diverse, global environments.
Momentum: Delaying the work of reframing builds friction and fatigue. Teams feel it.
This isn’t just about awareness, it’s about responsibility. The leaders who are willing to reframe are the ones who create environments where people thrive, not just survive!
What belief are you holding on to — and what might it be costing you?
