TRP 269: Blind Spots of Rainmakers with Gavin Sharpe
Manage episode 507078820 series 138823
In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Gavin Sharpe, former lawyer, global legal search firm CEO, and now performance and leadership coach, to discuss the blind spots of rainmakers. Gavin explains that blind spots are unconscious behaviors others see but we often miss—like interrupting, failing to delegate, or hiding vulnerability. Left unchecked, these blind spots create limiting assumptions such as “I’m not a natural rainmaker” or “asking for help is weakness,” which can undermine success and stall growth.
Gavin shares how lawyers’ personalities and the pressures of perfectionism often reinforce these blind spots, creating a cycle of stress and missed opportunities. He offers strategies for uncovering and challenging limiting beliefs, from seeking peer and client feedback to reframing outdated stories we tell ourselves. By identifying, examining, and dismantling these beliefs, professionals can unlock untapped potential, build stronger teams, and become more effective rainmakers. Gavin closes with actionable steps to help listeners start recognizing and addressing their own blind spots.
