“Your beliefs are constantly affecting how you think, feel, act, and view the world.”

— Muriel M. Wilkins, Leadership Unblocked​

Have you ever felt like your worst enemy is YOU?

In Leadership Unblocked, Muriel M. Wilkins draws upon decades of executive coaching to reveal a tough truth: your mindset may be the only thing standing between you and your potential.

In the book, Wilkins shares stories, guidance, and tools to help you break free from the beliefs that hold you back.

SMARTEST TAKEAWAYS

1️⃣ Hidden Blockers Sabotage Success: Leaders often get stuck, not because of outside forces, but because of seven “hidden beliefs” (like “I need to be involved,” or “I don’t belong here”) that undermine progress and decision-making.​

2️⃣ Self-Awareness Unlocks Growth: Wilkins shares tools and case studies to help you spot which beliefs are tripping you up and how to challenge them—so you (and those around you) can thrive with less friction and more clarity.​

3️⃣ Leadership Is an Inside Job: The book is loaded with practical self-coaching guidance, helping you shift from blaming others or pushing harder to looking inward first—breaking through these beliefs to lead with greater vision, confidence, and ease.

Muriel Wilkins is the founder of Paravis Partners, a premier leadership advisory firm, and host of Coaching Real Leaders (part of the HBR podcast network)

INSIGHTFUL EXAMPLE
From Busy Boss to Empowered Leader

Picture a manager who’s always on. They jump into every decision, and feel frustrated when things slip. Wilkins shows how the belief, “I need to be involved for things to go right,” can quietly burn leaders out and stunt team development.

By surfacing and challenging this belief (while experimenting with letting go), leaders start to build trust, empower others, and—ironically—get better results with less stress.
