Listen "How Do You Shift From Victim Mindset To Conscious Leadership? With Yosi Kossowsky"
Episode Synopsis
In this AiBiz episode, host Sayan sits down with executive coach Yosi Kossowsky to unpack the subtle ways victim mindset shows up in high performers, leaders and teams. Instead of treating victimhood as an insult, they explore it as a quiet mental pattern that limits options, emotional resilience and impact at work.
Yosi explains how everyday phrases like “I can’t”, “this is impossible” or “I’ve done everything I can” lock us into a fixed story that shapes our decisions, relationships and leadership style. He also connects mindset work with neuroplasticity, showing how challenging our default narratives is like training different “muscles” in the brain.
If you lead people, build a business or feel stuck in repeated loops, this conversation helps you move from “life is happening to me” to “life is responding to me”, without ignoring real pain or complexity. It is emotional intelligence, neuroscience and practical leadership packed into one focused episode.
About the Guest :
Yosi Kossowsky is a former engineer turned leadership and emotional resilience coach with nearly twenty years of experience supporting executives, founders and high performers. His work centers on mindset, beliefs and communication so that leaders stop reacting on autopilot and start responding with intention. Yosi combines structured thinking with deep emotional work to help people get unstuck, expand their options and lead from clarity instead of fear.
Key Takeaways :
Victim mindset is not name calling. It is a quiet belief system built on thoughts like “this is just how it is” or “I have no choice” which keeps you feeling powerless.
Your language reveals your operating system. Words like “impossible”, “I can’t” or “I’ve done everything I can” are signals that you are closing doors before you test them.
Holding on to resentment, blame or guilt is like drinking poison and hoping the other person is harmed. It feels justified yet it limits your emotional freedom.
In leadership, mindset shapes your decision tree. What you believe is possible decides which options you can even see when a team problem shows up.
Other people’s ideas expose your blind spots. If you reject a suggestion as “stupid” or “not realistic”, it may be your belief system, not reality, that is narrow.
Neuroplasticity means the brain can change. Repeating the same thoughts is like doing one gym move forever. You grow when you stretch your thinking in new directions.
Healthy reframing does not erase trauma. Deep wounds and PTSD need proper therapeutic support that is very different from tools used for procrastination or performance blocks.
A powerful pivot question is not “why is this happening to me” but “what can I do with this now”. That shift turns pain into clarity and clarity into momentum in life and leadership.
