#022: The Connection Between Early Trauma and Leadership [Brian Wang]

Have you ever wondered why certain types of people trigger you? Or why you keep attracting the same challenging dynamics with your team? In this deeply personal episode, I share my experience at an Art of Accomplishment retreat that revealed how childhood projections have been unconsciously shaping my life for decades.

What You'll Learn:

• The concept of psychological projections and how they influence our inner state
• How childhood beliefs become self-fulfilling prophecies in business
• Why emotional release work is more effective than trying to "think" your way through limiting beliefs
• The way "comparative mind" that keeps leaders isolated
• Practical steps for identifying your own projections and triggers

Key Concepts Explored:

• How projections create the very conditions that prove them "right"
• The relationship between childhood survival strategies and adult leadership patterns
• Why belonging and physical connection matter for authentic leadership
• The role of vulnerability in building trust with your team
