In Leadership Unblocked, Muriel M. Wilkins explored the beliefs that are blocking us and preventing us from reaching our full potential. She begins the book by sharing how she had just taken a new job at a failing division. She was given 18 months to turn it around and make it profitable. She had always been a high achiever and she created a plan which they all disagreed with. She admits to breaking down and crying in her office because they wouldn’t listen to her. She discussed it with her partner and her man basically asked her if she was the problem and not them. It took her time until she got his words and then she realized that she was playing into the drama. She did end up quitting but has since become an executive coaching. She explored our beliefs and how we can uncover our interior monologue and discover the clatter going around in our heads. We need to realize what is limiting us and stopping us from moving forward. She shared how she believed that she had to succeed and had a reinforced belief that she had to do her best. If she did, she would be accepted and praised. She looked at hidden blockers such as, “I need it done right now, I’m right, I can’t make a mistake, I can’t say no”, and much more. She covered all of these in extreme detail throughout the chapters.
I would recommend this life changing book to anyone who is ready to get unblocked from their hindering beliefs. I loved how she included special sessions about coaching ourselves from blocked to unblocked and to action. There are also helpful charts showing the signs that we have this hidden blocker. She touched on potential costs of the hidden blocker. At the end of the book, there is a coach yourself worksheet in the appendix.
“I received this book free from the publisher for my honest review.”
