We break down why true leadership isn’t about knowing all the answers — it’s about sensing, adjusting, and staying clear on your deeper purpose when everything around you is shifting.
Why it matters:
In a complex, brittle world, leaders who cling to certainty get stuck. Leaders who prioritize clarity — and stay flexible — create resilience, innovation, and trust.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why your brain craves certainty (and why it backfires)
- The key difference between complicated and complex challenges
- How to hold your vision tightly, but your plans lightly
- Practical ways to think more clearly when you’re in the fog
- How letting go of rigid “right answers” can uplevel your leadership

- Dave Snowden’s Cynefin Framework
- Jennifer Garvey Berger’s Mindtraps work

✨ Clarity is your compass. Certainty is a mirage. Learn how to lead with steady vision, even when the next steps aren’t clear.
