    Episode #47: Leading Through Uncertainty: Strategies to Stay Grounded When Everything’s in Flux
    Apr 24 2025
    When everything feels uncertain, your team looks to you for steadiness—but what if you’re the one holding unspoken fears, bracing for change, and unsure how to talk about the hard stuff? In this real-talk conversation between Altus executive coaches Amy Vodarek, Steven Jones, Lynette Winter, and Dan Winter, you’ll find what today’s leaders are craving: thoughtful insight, practical strategies, and permission to pause and find joy amid the chaos. With decades of experience coaching senior executives and teams through high-stakes change, the Altus team discusses how to lead yourself and your team with focus, care, and presence—even when the path ahead is anything but clear. Key Moments You’ll Want to Hear: 03:15 – How understanding individual responses to change can unlock deeper collaboration. 05:50 – The danger of two-dimensional thinking: How seeing others as “just their role” erodes trust and connection. 06:55 – How naming problems creates freedom and moves leaders away from chaos. 11:00 – Fast or slow? Why today’s leadership moments demand a different kind of movement—and presence. 12:21 – The quickest reset during tough times? Start with gratitude. Here’s how. 13:58 – Leading through complexity means holding space for multiple realities. Are you up for it? 17:34 – Your strongest leadership move? Letting the team carry you—when you need it most. 19:11 – The real power of asking for support—and believing it’s there. 19:37 – Finding your anchor: How grounding in the body can shift your leadership presence. 22:50 – Why treating yourself to joy (yes, even flowers) fuels resilience. 25:53 – Grounding is more than a buzzword. It’s your key to presence, clarity, and real connection. 29:34 – Energy audit: How intentional leaders choose where to focus and where to let go. 31:32 – Stop trying to control the uncontrollable. Focus here instead. 33:01 – How flexible leaders find joy despite the challenge. 34:40 – Every greeting is an opportunity. How you show up in small moments shapes culture. 35:54 – What’s the care underneath? Ask this one question to shift into purposeful action. 36:34 – How appreciating the joy of others creates the space for finding your own path to joy. 37:27 – Want to make an impact? Start by sparking joy—right where you are. 38:10 – Don’t ask “how are you?” Say this instead—and see the connection deepen. 40:11 – Want your people to feel seen and safe? Practice this powerful welcoming move. We hold a lot for our clients, and there's a real gift in being of service to people in that way. Pull up a chair, take a breath, and join us for this timely conversation on leading through uncertainty with steadiness, care, and presence.
