From Survival To Self-Leadership

Most leaders are so busy doing they forget to pause and look at who they’re being.

In this week’s episode of Energize With Bram, I had the privilege of speaking with Karin van Zuilen, founder of Senz Strategy Consulting, who brings deep psychological insight to leadership transformation.

Together, we unpacked her Leadership Quadrant Model—a powerful framework that reveals how great leaders balance four essential layers of awareness:

💡 Strengths – What you’re naturally good at
🌑 Shadows – The hidden behaviors that sabotage results
Triggers – What sets you off (and why)
🚀 Potential – The highest expression of your leadership

Karin also shared her Pyramid of You, which shows how we can rise above reactive, fear-based patterns… and step into inspired, values-led self-leadership.

We covered:

✅ How your past conditioning impacts your current leadership style
✅ How to turn emotional reactivity into powerful self-awareness
✅ Why developing the inner game of leadership changes everything on the outside

If you’re ready to lead yourself—and others—with clarity, depth and purpose, this episode will speak straight to your core.
