Unlearning means letting go of the safe and familiar and replacing it with something new and unknown. Skills and behaviors that helped you get to where you are can actually hold you back from getting to where you want to be. For example, a leader might need to unlearn their default of always being the person who speaks first in meetings. Or a new manager might need to unlearn always saying âyesâ as their workload increases.

Or maybe youâve made a career change and youâre relearning what it looks like to transfer your talents to a new setting.
