Most senior leaders got to where they are by being the expert. But Helen Tupper has research showing that the moment you start thinking of yourself as an expert is the exact moment you stop growing.

If you've been coasting on competence, or are quietly terrified of being a beginner again, this episode is for you.

Topic Highlights

– How expertise quietly kills curiosity, and what to do before it happens to you

– Why the career ladder is a limiting model for both individuals and organizations

– The “mistake moments” team practice that makes vulnerability a daily habit

– The “What? So what? Now what?” reflection loop that turns any meeting into a learning engine
