Join Muriel Wilkins and Kaya Henderson for an exclusive, book-club-style conversation on moving past the beliefs that hold you back as a leader.
About the Event
You’re invited to mark the release of Leadership Unblocked: Break Through the Beliefs That Limit Your Potential with author and executive coach Muriel Wilkins in an exclusive virtual discussion. To make the moment even more meaningful, Muriel will be joined in conversation by her longtime friend, colleague and fellow book club member Kaya Henderson — Executive Vice President of the Aspen Institute’s Center for Rising Generations and nationally recognized leader.
This won’t be a standard author interview. Instead, it’s a chance to pull up a chair and join in as two close friends share the kind of candid, thoughtful conversation they’ve been having in their book club for years. Together, they’ll explore the hidden beliefs that silently block leaders, reflect on the themes of the book, and offer practical insights on how to move forward with clarity, courage, and impact. And you’ll get a chance to ask questions and connect live around the themes of the book

About the Book
As a leader, it’s easy to point the finger outward when things don’t go as planned. But what if the biggest blockers aren’t external — they’re within us? In Leadership Unblocked, executive coach Muriel Wilkins reveals seven hidden beliefs that unconsciously hold leaders back — beliefs like “I know I’m right,” “I need to be involved,” and “I don’t belong here.” Drawing on two decades of coaching senior executives, Muriel shows leaders how to identify, unpack, and move past these barriers to lead with greater ease, vision, and impact. Leadership Unblocked will be released on October 28, 2025.
