In this episode, I share a powerful self-awareness moment that unfolded during my son's first high school football camp. What began as empathy quickly revealed itself as something else—projected anxiety, assumptions, and imposter syndrome I was unknowingly carrying on his behalf.
I explore the difference between empathy, being an empath, and projected empathy—and how this subtle but impactful emotional projection shows up in leadership. You'll hear real-life leadership examples, what to do when you recognize this in yourself, and why showing up with trust instead of assumption changes everything.
Enjoy!
