For close to 20 years in my practice as a psychologist and leadership coach, Ive worked with organisations and leaders to help them develop and unlock their potential.
All leaders reach a point where they face challenges, whether that is a new role, a transition in their career, experiencing self-doubt or not being clear on their way forward. Its during these times that leaders need expert support to help them overcome these challenges. But rather than tell them what to do as a leader, this book by a psychologist Rearn Norman look internally at their own thoughts and behaviours.
Unlocked is the culmination of Rearn’s 20 years’ experience as a psychologist and leadership coach who has spoken with hundreds of leaders about the barriers that have held them back in their roles. This book aims to share with readers these barriers and help them to recognise similar patterns in themselves, and then provide them ways to overcome them.
In Unlocked Rearn defines three barriers: Going Fast, Holding Back, Over Doing. Each barrier has a distinctive profile and provides practical strategies to help readers reset the thoughts and behaviours that are getting in the way of their best leadership and to develop strategies for how to maintain these behaviours over time.
This book will help readers to reflect on the leader they want to be, and will provide them with practical, evidence-based strategies to overcome the most common internal barriers that stand between them and their full potential as a leader.
