Why Leaders Plateau – and the Mindset Shift That Gets You Unstuck
In this powerful conversation, mindset transformation coach Curtis McCullom breaks down the hidden patterns that quietly limit a leader's success—no matter how accomplished they are on paper. Curtis explains why subconscious beliefs formed early in life can sabotage performance, stall growth, and affect how leaders show up at home and at work.
He also walks through his LGET Mindset™ framework (Learn, Grow, Expand, Transform) and shares how tools like NLP, Mental Emotional Release®, and Hypnotherapy help business owners release emotional baggage, make better decisions, and lead their teams with clarity and confidence.
This is a deep, eye-opening episode about doing the inner work that drives real transformation.

Actionable Insights
- Notice how blind spots show up in your behavior: Blind spots often manifest subtly, in emotional reactions, decision fatigue, or strained relationships. Self-awareness is the first step toward removing them. [01:53]
- Emotional patterns formed early in life still influence you: Childhood experiences, even small moments like hearing "money doesn't grow on trees," can shape beliefs that limit income, leadership, and confidence decades later. [05:09]
- Leaders must remove the "baggage" before setting big goals: According to Curtis, most leaders set goals on top of unresolved emotional blocks—leading to plateauing or self-sabotage. Clear the baggage first, then build. [08:23]
