“I like to freestyle it a little bit you know… And the dog poo makes good fertilizer…” 🐕💩🥴😬
Your peers can see what you can’t.
That’s not a nice-to-have.
It’s fundamental to growth.
I’ve watched amazing consultants:
🍩 Dominate workshops without realising they’re shutting people down
🍩 Use jargon that confuses clients while thinking they’re being “helpful”
🍩 Miss critical stakeholder cues because they’re too focused on their agenda
🍩 Repeat the same relationship patterns across multiple projects
And they are genuinely surprised when you point it out.
“Really? I had no idea I was doing that.”
Of course you didn’t. That’s what makes it a blind spot.
For example, someone told me I used the word “So..” as a speech crutch.
A lot.
So they would raise their hands and say, “SOOO….?” 😁
I haven’t quite fixed this problem yet – but it’s an ongoing learning process!!
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: The things holding you back in your career are often the exact things you can’t see about yourself.
Your communication style that works brilliantly with some stakeholders but alienates others?
The way you handle conflict that feels “assertive” to you but “aggressive” to your team?
The patterns in why certain types of projects always go sideways for you?
You need people around you who:
✓ See you in action regularly (not just once)
✓ Care enough to tell you the truth
✓ Know how to give feedback that lands without crushing you
✓ Are working on their own blind spots too
This is why the #ZenClub isn’t a content library or a networking group.
It’s a tight-knit people showing up every Friday, practicing real scenarios, giving each other honest feedback, and slowly becoming the consultants their clients actually need (not just the ones they think they are).
With Piyusha Pilania in our corner for the strong technical content, we will collectively build a space for those of us who care about our personal and professional growth and our impact on each other.
The founding members will set the culture of radical honesty + psychological safety and you’ll help build what this looks like. ❤️
Lock in £129/month forever.
Closes on 14 October midnight UK time.

Soo… what blind spot did someone help you discover about yourself? 😁
