“ Uncertainty is part of the journey, but it doesn’t have to derail you. When you do the inner work to remain centered and grounded, you lead with courage, clarity, and calm, even in the face of the unknown.”
Nothing in our world is certain. While we like to believe we have things under “control”, our environment is filled with unexpected influences that topple even the best intended plans, strategies, and projections. In this episode, I talk about one of the most important skills a leader can have: the ability to navigate uncertainty. We’ll explore what it takes to lead through uncertainty, why doing your own inner work is key and how you can develop the capacity to stay grounded in the unknown.
Leadership Presence | Mastering the Inner Work of Leadership is your guide to leading with less ego and more soul. Your host is Janet Ioli, leadership and human development expert, sought-after coach, advisor to global executives, and former executive with experience in four Fortune 200 companies. In this podcast, she digs into the real deep work and empowers leaders to show up with authenticity, build emotional intelligence, and lead in a way that leaves a lasting impact.
