Stop Blaming, Start Understanding: Curiosity as a Leadership Superpower
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In this episode, Melissa shares a morning leadership reminder inspired by Napoleon Hill: there is no problem without an appropriate solution, and often, the solution is found by getting curious about the circumstances that created the problem in the first place. This is not an invitation to blame. It's a call to open curiosity and radical self-ownership—so you can access clearer thinking, deeper self-connection, and more creative solutions. The episode closes with a grounding breathwork drop-in to help you regulate and return to your calm, clear, most expansive self. This episode explores: Why blame, guilt, shame, and judgment are fear-based reactions that narrow your thinking and keep you stuck. A powerful reminder from Napoleon Hill (Outwitting the Devil): "there is no problem which does not have an appropriate solution, and that solution often can be found in the circumstance creating the problem." How to shift from reaction to open curiosity (without judgment) so you can access deeper understanding and better solutions. What radical self-ownership actually looks like in real time: turning "I'm triggered" into self-inquiry and self-leadership. A short grounding breathwork reset to return to calm, clarity, and creative problem-solving. Reminder: Join Melissa live every weekday at 9am Eastern on IG + LinkedIn.
