E107: Leadership During Crisis: Managing Anxiety & Uncertainty
Right now, seasoned executives everywhere are waking up in the middle of the night with that familiar knot in their stomach, wondering if their teams will survive the next policy shift or funding cut. In this raw and honest episode, I don't sugarcoat the reality that many leaders are facing. I dive straight into the messy, uncomfortable truth about managing leadership anxiety when your entire professional world feels like it's hanging by a thread.
If you're tired of generic leadership advice that tells you to "just stay positive" while your nervous system is screaming danger signals, this episode is your lifeline. I’ll address what's really happening in your body and mind when uncertainty takes over, and more importantly, I’ll show you how to lead authentically from that space instead of pretending everything is fine.
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Learn the three powerful grounding techniques that bring you back to center when anxiety starts spiraling out of control
- Discover how to differentiate between feeling scared and being led by fear so you can maintain your leadership presence
- Uncover why grieving what you thought was certain is actually essential work that most leaders skip—keeping them stuck in cycles of overwhelm and reactivity
This isn't just another leadership episode—it's a permission slip to be human while still being the steady presence your team desperately needs.
