Leadership POV: Conversations with Alkema & Friends
Fresh Start Monday - The Mirror You Avoid Shows the Growth You Need
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this First Start Monday reflection, Alkema invites leaders to face the mirror they’ve been avoiding—not a literal one, but the internal mirror of self-reflection. This episode challenges us to pause, look honestly at our habits, emotions, and mindsets, and confront the areas we often ignore while staying busy leading others. From defensiveness and procrastination to fear and pride, Alkema reminds us that avoidance doesn’t stop growth—it only delays it.
Rooted in faith, self-awareness, and transformational leadership, this episode reframes reflection as refinement, not failure. You’ll be encouraged to take just five quiet minutes to ask a powerful question: What mirror am I avoiding? Because the mirror isn’t punishment—it’s preparation. When leaders lean into discomfort, they gain clarity, maturity, and the courage to grow into their next level of leadership.
In this episode, you’ll explore:
- Why leaders often avoid self-reflection—and the cost of doing so
- How the “mirror” reveals growth opportunities, not perfection
- The connection between inner transformation and effective leadership
- A simple, practical reflection to start your week with clarity and courage
Start your week ready to lead better—by looking inward first.
