The Things We Hide: A Guide to Identifying Hidden Barriers and Leading with Authenticity - Hardcover

by Tyler Dickerhoof (Author), John C. Maxwell (Foreword by)

We all carry scars-some visible, many unseen. Too often, these marks become barriers, convincing us to hide from our true selves and from meaningful connection. But what if our scars could actually become the source of our greatest strength and impact?

In this book, Tyler Dickerhoof invites you on a courageous journey of self-discovery, ownership, and growth. Drawing from personal experience, proven frameworks, and the collective wisdom of the Impact Driven Leader community, Tyler shares how he moved from isolation and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and authentic leadership. You'll learn how to apply the Circle of Ownership-a simple but powerful model for building self-awareness, embracing feedback, and fostering emotional intelligence.

With practical exercises, honest storytelling, and tools you can use right away, this book is more than inspiration-it's a guidebook for transformation. Whether you're an entrepreneur, leader, parent, or simply searching for purpose, you'll discover how vulnerability, community, and actionable strategies can help you break free from old patterns and unlock a new level of personal and professional fulfillment.

Walk away with clarity about who you are, confidence in your next steps, and practical tools to make a difference in your life and the lives of others-starting today.
