The Strategy Table — Episode: "The Mask-Bearer"You got good at reading the room before you ever got good at reading yourself. That skill made you valuable — and it also made you shrink.

This episode is for the high-functioning leader, mom, husband, or wife who can hold the boardroom together and carry everybody else's emotions, and still go blank when somebody asks one simple question: Who are you?
I go first. I'll show you what wearing the mask cost me — and the strategy to take it off.
The Mask-Bearer is one of 13 narrative patterns. Find out which one you run under pressure → take the Narrative Discovery Quiz at www.AVSstrategytable.com.
THE STRATEGY TO UNMASK — FOUR MOVES

Presence — be still long enough to notice yourself. Ask, in real time: Am I still me right now?
Truth — name what's underneath the mask. Separate what you chose, what you adapted into, what you inherited, and what you performed just to stay safe.
Inner Coherence — be the same person in the boardroom that you are at your own kitchen table. You can't lead a coherent team from an incoherent self.
Embodied Identity — practice the real self until it becomes how you live. The nervous system only trusts repeated execution.

From masked → to unmasked. A rebuilt narrative.
THIS WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT
Find one chair where the mask comes off — one person who's earned the real you. Then become that person to yourself first. Five minutes a day: How am I actually doing? What do I actually want?
