TOPIC: Uncover Your Blindspots Before Business Blindsides You w/ Likky Lavji (ep.16)
Have you felt shocked or blindsided by a staff member leaving suddenly, or extremely bothered by a potential customer who disappeared? How you perceive these events may have to do with the subtleties of whether your values and/or trauma show up in your everyday interactions — which is a blindspot for many.
Meet our featured guest, Likky Lavji. A widely known expert business mentor, speaker, coach, and entrepreneur, Likky is also the President and Co-Founder of Blindspots Global, which is a leadership development program. His cheeky-titled new book: Death By BS has recently hit Amazon’s #1 Selling Author List.
In this interview, Likky shares how a public speaking appearance in elementary school was so traumatizing, it caused him to develop a stutter. He couldn’t shake it off until decades later, after exiting one of his main businesses.

51. Cut the BS Out of Your Life – Likky Lavji
When your middle name (Madat) translates to “help”, there’s a high probability that there’s a reason. Likky Madat Lavji’s purpose in life is to help others, through his coaching, speaking, and his book. What got him on that path?
Our childhood experiences can have quite an impact on our lives – and, in turn, those we encounter on our journey. Likky was born in Africa, moved at a young age to Pakistan for a short while, then his family immigrated to Canada. Kids being kids, he was teased mercilessly by his school mates because he looked and sounded differently than they. The result was that he developed a stutter that would stay with him well into adulthood.
That stutter left in an almost unbelievable scenario as Likky worked to hone his craft of helping others. It’s a perfect example of the Go-Giver Law of Receptivity and the Law of Left Field.
You’ll want to listen to Likky’s conversation with host, Bill Ellis, to learn about his experience and how he helps countless people to eliminate the BS from their lives.

March 4th, 2022
What narrative are you telling yourself that is keeping you from being successful? “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t belong” Do these stories run through your mind? The story we tell ourselves limits us and we don’t even know we have them. When we become self aware we can see those narratives and why we have them. Once you become self aware, you can start to change the narrative and move forward. Shannon sat down with the Blind Spot Navigator, Likky Lavji, to learn about his self aware journey.

What BS are you as leaders telling yourself?
Yes, for the past two years we have been languishing. To thrive in work and life, we can change our mindset form: “Stuck and unsure how to move forward. Feeling aimless with no direction. Spreading yourself too thin. At a crossroads unsure what to do. On the wrong track for your life”

Episode 48: Likky Lavji – Blind Spots
Navigating through our blind spots shouldn’t be all that difficult naturally, or at least we would like to think so. That’s why it’s our BS. There are things we like to believe about ourselves, when in the perception of others, we may be something completely different entirely. At times, we can find ourselves thinking we are already better than we are or have gone further than we actually have. This is unfortunately why many do not reach their full potential. These Blind Spot behaviors only sabotage our own steps in progress, and sadly, the cost of this can be an unfulfilled life or business, and needless failed relationships over time. Once you’re aware of your own BS, the world will open up to you in a whole new way.

Success, Motivation & Inspiration with M. Curtis McCoy
October 18, 2019
What is your definition of success?
Success is a myriad of things that come into play: Having real personal self-awareness of how your actions and behaviors affect others and how it affects your performance. In other words, having awareness of your BS, or as I like to call it, your blind spots.
Having a real sense of your core values and beliefs and staying true to them. If you are a leader in an organization the core values and beliefs should be the guiding beacon to everything the organization does. And it is so important that the whole of the organization is aligned with those core values, its what keeps the company focused and moving forward.
