Freed to Lead
Empowering leaders and teams to identify, address, and prevent blind spots that hinder leadership and harm relationships.
In Greek Mythology, Achilles was known as a skilled and valiant warrior.
But his legacy is tied to a fatal flaw. Many top executives face the same risk. Despite their impressive skills, they often have unseen weaknesses—blind spots—that others can easily recognize. Like Achilles' heel, these blind spots can have serious consequences.

Mitigate Your Blind Spots
Every leader faces a universal Achilles heel: the health of their team. A dysfunctional team can significantly weaken a leader's impact and influence. On the other hand, a healthy team, equipped with strong relationship intelligence and the ability to navigate conflict effectively, can be a leader's greatest asset, helping to protect their leadership and uncover hidden blind spots.
Exceptional Leaders
Are you willing to confront difficult questions?
What is my Achilles heel?
What flaws in my leadership am I unaware of that others see clearly?
