In this episode, I talk about projection – the invisible ways we pass our emotions onto others without saying a word. It’s something we all do, especially under pressure, and as leaders, it can shape our teams more than we realise.

In this episode, I talk about projection – the invisible ways we pass our emotions onto others without saying a word. It’s something we all do, especially under pressure, and as leaders, it can shape our teams more than we realise.

I share real-life examples of how projection shows up in business and how I’ve caught myself doing it too. I also explore how to notice when someone is projecting onto you, and how to hold your boundaries without taking it on.

This one’s all about building self-awareness and recognising what’s yours – and what’s not. See you next week for part two, where we’ll go deeper.
