The Habit That Got You Promoted Is Why You're Stuck.
The same trait that made you a star is now quietly costing you trust, traction, and the next title. It's a pattern called a saboteur — disguised as your greatest strength. Once you can name it, you can stop it in 10 seconds.
In under 30 minutes, you'll identify the specific saboteur running your leadership on autopilot — and walk away with the one question that interrupts it on demand. No therapy. No 12-week program. No breathing exercises.
Name Your Saboteur — $7 Instant access · 60-day money back guaranteeYou ever leave a meeting and think: "Why did I just do that?"
You're smart. You're capable. You get results. But if you're honest with yourself…
There's a pattern you keep running into. The same one. Different room, different team, different year — same pattern.
Maybe it's the meeting where you stayed quiet when you should have spoken up.
Maybe it's the decision you overthought until someone else made it for you.
Maybe it's the feedback you took so personally it threw off your entire week.
Maybe it's the project you over-delivered on — not because it needed it, but because "good enough" terrifies you.
You've seen this pattern before. You've told yourself you'd handle it differently next time.
And then next time came… and you did the exact same thing.
That pattern has a name. It's called a saboteur. And it's not a character flaw. It's not a personality defect. It's not "just who you are."
It's a strategy that worked for you once — and now it runs on autopilot.
Maybe when you were 25. Maybe when you were 12. It made decisions for you in moments that mattered. And it kept doing it. Long after it stopped serving you.
What if you could name it in 5 minutes — and stop it in 10 seconds?
That's not a hypothetical. It's what happens when you take a saboteur from invisible to named.
The moment you can say "that's my Performer running" or "that's my Pleaser talking" — something shifts.
You're no longer inside the pattern. You're watching it. And once you're watching it, you can interrupt it.
Not with therapy. Not with a 12-week program. Not with some vague intention to "work on yourself."
With one question. Asked at the right moment.That stops the pattern before it makes the next decision for you.
That's exactly what The Saboteur Interruption Kit gives you.
Picture This
Two weeks from now…
You walk into the same meeting that used to wreck you.
Same conference room. Same person across the table. Same kind of feedback you used to take so personally it'd hijack your week.
You feel it land. You feel the trigger fire — the heat in your chest, the urge to defend, explain, over-promise.
But this time, you don't take the bait. You ask yourself one question. And in the gap that opens up, you choose what to say next instead of reacting.
You leave the meeting and — for the first time in a long time — you don't replay it for three hours afterward. Because there's nothing to replay.
That's what naming the saboteur unlocks. And it starts the moment you finish the assessment.
Here's What You Get
Instant Access. No Fluff.
Six focused tools designed to take you from invisible pattern to named, interrupted, and graduated — in a single sitting.
The Saboteur Identification Assessment
A quick, self-scoring assessment that identifies your dominant saboteur archetype. Not a personality test. Not a 47-page report. A focused tool that tells you: this is the specific pattern that's running your leadership right now. Takes less than 10 minutes.
Your Saboteur Profile Card
A one-page breakdown of YOUR specific pattern. How it shows up in meetings, decisions, and relationships. What it's actually costing you. And the exact trigger moments when it's most likely to take over. This alone will make you say "…that's exactly what I do."
Interrupt the Inner Patterns: 7 Saboteur Profiles + Rapid Reset Scripts
The full playbook. A complete profile for each of the 7 saboteur archetypes — how it shows up, what it costs you, and the exact trigger moments to watch for — paired with a Rapid Reset Script for each: a single, precise question you can ask yourself in 10 seconds to pause the pattern before it runs. Not affirmations. Not breathing exercises. This is the most valuable piece in the kit.
Quick Reference Card
A wallet-sized card with your saboteur name, your trigger, and your interrupt question. Keep it on your desk. Screenshot it to your phone. Pull it out before your next hard conversation. Simple. Immediate. Usable.
The 7 Saboteur Archetypes — Spot Them In Anyone
A field guide to all seven patterns — The Rescuer, The Certainty Addict, The Performer, The Pleaser, The Controller, The Martyr, and The Avoider — built for spotting them in your team, your boss, your peers, and your partner. Leaders who can name saboteurs in the room don't just lead themselves better. They lead everyone better.
The Saboteur vs. Ally Cheat Sheet
Every saboteur has a strength hiding behind it. Your Performer is hiding a deep drive to excel. Your Pleaser is hiding real empathy. Your Controller is hiding hard-won standards. This cheat sheet shows you how to keep the strength and lose the pattern. The difference between killing the saboteur and graduating from it.
Six tools. One sitting. The pattern named, the script written, the next meeting different.

Real Words From Real Leaders Doing The Work
"Your guidance helped me confront my saboteurs and embrace my inner leader with courage and conviction — something I've struggled to do over the past year and a half."
"Steven helped me learn how to lean into my quirks and messiness rather than trying to change myself to fit the 'typical' corporate mold. I am happier, more balanced and more fulfilled than I've felt in ages."
"Understanding the root of my reactions — often a compromise of my core values — has been enlightening and profoundly helpful."
Why I Built This
I've spent years watching smart leaders sabotage themselves — without knowing it.
I'm Steven Urban — an executive coach who works with leaders from directors up to the C-Suite, plus founders, who got to where they are because of how hard they push, how much they care, or how good they are at controlling the outcome. The same patterns that got them there are now the ones quietly costing them trust, time, and traction.
This kit is the first piece I walk every new client through. It's the simplest version of the framework I use in $5,000+ coaching engagements — distilled into something you can complete in one sitting and actually use the next day.
I built this because most leaders don't need a 12-week program. They need a name for the thing that keeps showing up — and a question to interrupt it.

Let's Be Clear
What This Kit Is Not
It's a 30-minute, single-sitting tool. That's it.
This Kit Is — And Isn't — For You
This is for you if…
- You're a leader who knows something keeps getting in your way — but you can't quite name it
- You've noticed the same pattern show up in different jobs, different teams, different years
- You're tired of the post-meeting "why did I do that?" moment
- You want something you can actually use tomorrow — not a 10-week self-improvement program
- You're a manager, director, VP, or founder who takes their leadership seriously
Not for you if…
- You're looking for a personality test or entertainment — this requires honest self-reflection
- You believe your leadership challenges are entirely caused by other people
- You're not willing to spend 30 minutes looking at yourself honestly
"But What If…"
Quick Answers To The Honest Objections
"I already know my weaknesses."
Knowing your weaknesses and naming your saboteur pattern are two different things. Weaknesses are general ("I'm a control freak"). Saboteur work is specific ("My Controller activates when I'm about to delegate, and it tells me the story that no one will do it as well as I would — which is why I'm buried in work my team should be doing"). The kit gets you to the specific version.
"I've done personality assessments before."
This isn't a personality assessment. CliftonStrengths tells you what you're good at. DiSC tells you how you communicate. This tells you what's getting in your way — the pattern that personality tests don't touch because it looks like a strength from the outside.
"Can a $7 kit really change anything?"
The kit doesn't change you. It names something. And the moment a pattern has a name, it loses power. You don't need a $5,000 coaching engagement to have that moment of recognition. You need 30 minutes and the right framework. That's what this is.
"I don't have time for another self-help thing."
It's 30 minutes. Not a course. Not a program. A single focused sitting. If you have time for a meeting that accomplishes nothing, you have time for this.
