Revise Your Thinking with Laura Miner

<p>What if the greatest obstacle to your growth was never your circumstances — but your certainty?</p><p><br></p><p>Laura Miner spent much of her life in a world where questioning wasn&#39;t allowed. She learned early that you defend what you see — or else. It wasn&#39;t until her mid-40s, with no bachelor&#39;s degree and a funny argument with her husband, that everything began to shift.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, Michael Carey sits down with Laura Miner — leadership coach, scholar, and PhD in organizational leadership — to trace the arc of a woman who rebuilt her thinking from the ground up. Laura shares how a string of bad leadership examples pushed her out of corporate America for good, how a mentor she never expected pointed her toward her next ascent, and why seven words at the heart of her dissertation took everything she’d been through to truly understand.</p><p><br></p><p>Along the way, they explore what it means to pause long enough to actually see something, why a book Laura reads every few years feels like a different book every time, and how the Socratic art of asking questions became her primary tool for helping others discover what they already know.</p><p><br></p><p>This is an episode about intellectual humility, the slow work of becoming, and giving yourself permission to think again.</p>
