Turn Your Leadership Blindspots Into Power

Written by:
Stacy Chillemi & Thrive Global

In this interview, Stacey Chillemi sits down with Jill Macauley, COO of Behavioral Essentials, who helps leaders see what they can’t see about themselves and understand how their behaviors are interpreted by the people around them. Drawing on years in traditional business consulting and her work with the Blindspotting framework, Jill explains why awareness, reflection, and honest feedback are essential for sustainable success.

This interview unpacks how identity, behavior, stress, and changing expectations shape the way leaders show up at work and at home. They explore where patterns come from, how to recognize when something isn’t working anymore, and what it really looks like to evolve with more adaptability and wisdom. Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or simply your own career, this conversation offers grounded, practical insights you can start applying this week.
