Welcome back to Dolly in My Pocket — the solo series from The extra-Ordinary Leader podcast, designed to offer short, powerful reflections you can take straight into your leadership and life.

In this episode, I’m talking about something I call the art of knowing yourself — but not in the “I like coffee and I’m a bit impatient” kind of way.

I’m talking about truly understanding your personality, your wiring, your drivers, and how they influence your leadership, energy, decision-making, and ability to perform.

This isn’t just self-awareness — it’s a strategic advantage. Because when you know how you recharge, how you process information, how you handle pressure, and what makes you tick (and trip!), you stop wasting time trying to be someone you’re not — and start leading from a place of clarity and energy.

If you’ve ever felt like a square peg in a round hole, or found yourself mimicking leadership strategies that just don’t fit, this is the episode for you.

Give it a listen — and let it challenge you to go deeper.
