Episode 11 – Not Just Leadership Podcast – Victimisation

Victimisation is a mindset that can quietly shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. In this episode, Dominic de Moura McCarthy unpacks how slipping into a victim mentality limits our leadership, our confidence and our ability to move forward. He reflects on the moments when blame, disappointment or unfairness can lock us in place, and what it looks like to break free from that cycle.

Through personal reflection and honest conversation, Dominic explores what it means to shift from “Why me?” to “What now?” and transform setbacks into growth. This episode challenges listeners to recognise when they’ve given away their agency, and how to take it back with humility, strength and hope.

Not Just Leadership is proudly presented by the Global Institute for Leadership. Each week we bring honest conversations and reflections from across the Pacific, Latin America and Australia, because leadership is more than a title, it’s a journey.
