264: The Vital Leadership Skill Nobody Trains You For
Mon Feb 02 2026
In today’s episode, I share the leadership skill nobody ever trained us for yet it shapes everything.
I explore why leadership is emotional before it’s intellectual, and how people respond to your state long before your words.
You’ll hear why trying to control outcomes often backfires, and what actually creates steadiness and influence.
This episode is for anyone leading under pressure who wants to reduce friction instead of creating it.
Real leadership doesn’t start with what you say - it starts with how you show up, inside.
