What is the Leadership Forum?

Leader’s from front line managers to C-suite executives throughout North America and across the globe gather weekly in our live, virtual studio to discuss topics that impact culture such as, dealing with toxic bosses and difficult people, earning and giving respect, being resilient through change, the power of empathy and curiosity, how to lead with influence - not manipulation, and so much more.

Join us in the discussions or bring your entire team!

For those who can't attend the live sessions but would benefit from the conversations, the sessions are recorded and made available as the Awareness Advantage podcast.

Kevin McCarthy, CSP

Founder, CEO
Blind Spots Global
Author of the bestselling book, BlindSpots – Why Good People Make Bad Choices, and holds the highest certification recognized globally by the speaking industry, the Certified Speaking Professional.

An award-winning sales professional, he built one of the largest Century 21 offices in America, then developed and sold a dot-com startup. 

In 2004, his boss was arrested for the largest stock fraud in Washington State history. As a result, Kevin spent 33 months in federal prison for a crime he didn’t knowingly commit.

There he studied Cognitive Psychology and recognized — then deeply researched — the blind spots that lead to his predicament. 

Today Kevin and his team expose the invisible barriers that impact culture, operations, training, service and leadership.

Likky Lavji

Founder, President
Blind Spots Global
A sought-after keynote speaker, Likky Lavji is passionate about helping others “break barriers” to unleash their human potential. In fact, his middle name, Madat, translates to ‘help’ and he channels this into providing value in every relationship he has – personal and professional.

With over 25 years as a CEO of a top IT company, Likky’s extensive experience in executive leadership has given him a unique perspective that remains unchartered by leaders and organizations in understanding the layers beneath human behavior and how it impacts growth and productivity of an organization.

He has been acknowledged by prominent organizations, including Telus Corporation, Lenovo Canada and Royal Bank of Canada for his ability to create mindset shift when it comes to commitment and powerful performance to achieve results.
Blind Spots Global is a multi-national, multi-cultural leadership development organization transforming managers who are good at getting stuff done into great leaders who influence and inspire their people.

Join the live conversations and give managers across the globe the advantage they need to influence and inspire the people they lead.

AWARENESS is the leadership ADVANTAGE!

“Self-awareness seems to have become the latest management buzzword — and for good reason. Research suggests that when we see ourselves clearly, we are more confident and more creative. We make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate more effectively. We’re less likely to lie, cheat, and steal. We are better workers who get more promotions. And we’re more-effective leaders with more-satisfied employees and more-profitable companies.” 

Most of us think we are self-aware, only 10-15% of us actually are.

Dr. Tasha Eurich, organizational psychologist, researcher,
and New York Times best-selling author.

Our graduates develop clarity to drive decision-making, curiosity to fuel creativity, and connection to power communication.

Clarity

When managers see themselves, others and the world around them clearly, they make better decisions. They learn to identify and mitigate their blind spots, challenge their perceptions and assumptions, and better manage expectations.

Curiosity

Curious managers learn to ask the right questions at the right time, starting with their own emotions and behaviors. They develop empathy to understand and value the unique differences and perspectives of others. They create a safe space that inspires and fuels creativity, collaboration and innovation.

Connection

Effective communication with your people only happens when you have connection with them.  Connection is the ability to make people feel seen, heard and valued. It is the energy that fuels healthy relationships and empowers effective communication through humility, vulnerability, transparency and authenticity.

Calling all leaders!

The Leadership Forum is looking for leaders with the desire to grow, willingness to change, and aspiration to be a great leader. 

Share your insights to help others grow. Learn from your peers. Be part of something special!
