Mirror, Mirror - the Power of Reflection

By

Ever feel like work is just an endless game of selling chocolate bars? (Spoiler: It kind of is.) In this episode of Tough Day, KVJ sits down with leadership expert Beata Lewis, Founder of Bridging Lives, LLC to talk about self-reflection, professional assessments, and why knowing your superpowers is the ultimate career hack. We’re diving into the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy sides of feedback — how to take it, how to use it, and why it’s not just about making yourself feel good. Plus, we tackle the big question: Are assessments a tool for growth or just a trap?

In this episode, you will hear:

  • Why self-reflection is your secret weapon in the workplace.
  • The role of professional assessments: tool or trap?
  • How to balance authenticity with adaptability.
  • Feedback: how to give it, take it, and actually use it.
  • The sales skills you never knew you had (and why they matter)
  • What makes a great leader? (hint: it’s not just being the loudest in the room)
