Why Your 6-Year-Old Self Showed Up in This Morning’s Department Meeting – Ep. 87

Ever walk out of a meeting thinking, “Why did that hit me so hard?” Maybe your boss questioned your idea, someone’s tone felt off, or you were left out of something—and suddenly it felt much bigger than the moment itself. In this episode I’m explaining why your 6-year-old self may be showing up in today’s meetings. You’ll learn how early relationship patterns can shape what you notice, what you assume, and how you react as a leader—and why a look, tone, silence, or disagreement can sometimes feel like rejection, criticism, or disrespect. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to recognize when your past may be coloring the present, separate what actually happened from what you made it mean, and respond from the grounded leader you are today.  Schedule a free coaching connection call: maraergaszabari.com/coaching Take the quiz to help you move forward with more clarity and confidence in your leadership: healthcareleaderquiz.com  Get the Healthcare Leadership Playbook: maraergaszabari.com/playbook  Website: maraergaszabari.com
