Discover the Invisible Patterns Costing You Influence & Results

Leadership Context &

Current Reality

Include team size, key stakeholders, and decision-making authority (e.g., VP Operations leading 25-person team, reporting to CEO, responsible for quarterly strategy execution...)

What are 2-3 recent leadership wins you're genuinely proud of? *

Think specific moments where your communication or leadership made a real difference

Approximately how much revenue/budget do your communication and leadership decisions directly impact annually? *

What communication or leadership patterns keep showing up that you'd like to shift? *

Be honest - what habits or responses do you notice that aren't serving you? (e.g., I over-explain when challenged, I avoid difficult conversations, I second-guess myself after important meetings...)

Overthink and second-guess every word

What situations or types of people tend to rattle your confidence or throw you off your game? *

Understanding your triggers helps identify where neural pattern interruption is needed (e.g., Highly aggressive personalities, public speaking to large groups, challenging my expertise, unexpected questions...)

What important conversations or decisions have you been avoiding or delaying lately? *

Avoidance patterns often reveal where communication confidence needs strengthening. Be specific about what you're putting off and why...

Pressure Points &

Strategic Listening

When team members push back, complain, or challenge you, what is your immediate internal reaction? *

I need to solve this problem immediately

I need to defend my position/decision

I need to validate their feelings first

I need to regain control of this conversation

I wonder what they really need right now

Think of a recent difficult conversation that didn't go as well as you hoped. Describe what happened and what you think the other person really needed from you. *

This reveals your ability to read beneath surface communication. What was said vs. what was really needed? What would you do differently now?

How often do you ask strategic questions during conflict or misalignment to redirect or reframe the conversation? *

Rarely - I usually react or respond directly

Sometimes - when I remember to pause first

Often - it's becoming a natural habit

Consistently - it's my go-to strategy

What emotional state do you most frequently operate from as a leader? *

Your default state shapes every interaction and outcome (e.g., calm confidence, driven urgency, cautious control, supportive collaboration...)

If you could quantify it, how much do you estimate poor communication patterns have cost you this year in terms of opportunities, relationships, or results? *

Consider missed promotions, delayed decisions, team turnover, lost deals, etc. Be as specific as possible about the real costs...

If you could shift just one core communication dynamic that would unlock everything else, what would it be?

This reveals your deepest transformation opportunity. What's the one shift that would change everything for your leadership?
