About the Book
Our self-image is often built on lies and limitation
Most books in this space give you a framework for thinking differently. Trading Mirrors gives you a process for seeing differently, because how you see yourself is upstream of everything else: how you lead, how you connect, how you build, and what you believe you are capable of.
Three problems most organizations are trying to solve right now:
-
Innovation stalls because people stop believing their perspective will add value to the conversation
-
Change fails because people interpret it as a verdict on who they are, not what they're being asked to do
-
Culture drifts because groups start reflecting distorted images back to each other until the distortion becomes the baseline
Trading Mirrors is the book that names the root of all three, uncovering the source and reframing the perspective.
