Uncovering the Places We Go to Hide: Unlocking Our Full Potential

You do know some things. You don’t need to know everything.
And what’s most important may already be whispering inside you.

Trust that voice. It’s yours.
And it’s always been enough.

Workshop #5: Uncovering the Places We Go to Hide: Shadow, Self-Deception & Unlocking Our Full Potential

Sometimes, what limits our leadership isn’t what’s missing — it’s what we’re not yet willing to see. Beneath the surface of our best intentions often lie shadows: unexamined beliefs, blind spots, and hidden narratives that quietly shape our choices. These shadows don’t just affect us; they ripple through our teams, our families, and our communities.

This retreat is an invitation to look inward with both courage and compassion. Together, we’ll explore how self-deception and shadow work are not signs of weakness, but doorways to greater self-awareness and authenticity. Through guided reflection, dialogue, and practical exercises, you’ll learn to:

• Identify Your Blind Spots: Recognize where unconscious patterns may be impacting your leadership.
• Navigate Self-Deception: Learn to spot the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck and disconnected.
• Embrace Your Shadow: Instead of hiding from our unexamined parts, we’ll explore how to integrate them with grace.
• Unlock Full Potential: Cultivate self-awareness that ripples outward — enhancing trust, authenticity, and collective growth.

“But the fear is an illusion too. It’s a result of being inwardly focused. It keeps us from accepting responsibility and admitting our mistakes, even though those are the very actions that build trust and move us forward.” — The Arbinger Institute

True leadership starts with looking inward. Together, we will hold space to uncover what’s hidden, transform it, and unlock the full potential that exists when we are brave enough to confront our own shadows.
