Blind Spots and Breakthroughs: The Self-Awareness Quest”
About this episode
Welcome back to The Resiliency Quest podcast series—where we hand the mic to Adam Mock, leadership author and podcast host, to interview Dr. Doug McKinley about his own book and the five Trailheads that map the journey toward resilient leadership.
Today’s Trailhead: Self-Awareness
Self-awareness isn’t a soft skill—it’s the first summit every resilient leader must face. Too many leaders operate with blind spots they don’t even know exist. But what if your most painful feedback or your last big failure was actually an invitation—not an indictment? This episode dives into what it really takes to know yourself beneath the titles, the image, and the performance. We talk about scripts that run your life, feedback that stings (but saves), and the quiet courage required to tell yourself the truth.
No mirror. No progress.
No reflection. No resilience.
