Debugging Your Leadership Code: What’s Holding You Back?

Uncover the hidden ‘bugs’ in your leadership, rewrite your default responses, and step into intentional influence with truth-based habits that break old patterns and unlock your full potential.

Debugging Your Leadership Code: What’s Holding You Back?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in patterns that don’t serve you, you’re not alone. We all have leadership bugs—default ways of thinking and reacting that once helped us cope but now hold us back.

These bugs don’t come from nowhere. Most of them were rooted in childhood, formed in response to challenges we faced and the lies we believed about what we needed to do to succeed, be accepted, or feel safe.

Back then, these habits felt like survival skills. But now? They’re running in the background, keeping us captive to outdated programming.

So here’s the real question:

What lie lies at the beginning of your false belief?

If you want to rewrite your leadership code, you need to:

✅ Identify the bug—recognize the faulty pattern.

✅ Uncover the lie—see what belief keeps it alive.

✅ Set boundaries—stop reinforcing old cycles.

✅ Replace it with Truth—develop new, deliberate leadership habits that actually serve you.

Each of the characters below represents a different leadership bug—one that might sound uncomfortably familiar. Which ones are running in your code?
