What if the bravest thing you could do as a leader wasn’t having the answers—but telling the truth when everything’s falling apart?

In a world obsessed with optics, this episode is a gut-check and a rally cry for every leader who’s done performing and is ready to lead with radical honesty, unwavering integrity, and a heart for people over perfection.

In this raw and powerful episode, host Dina Scippa pulls back the curtain on what it really means to lead when the pressure is mounting and the playbook gets tossed out the window. Leadership in times of crisis? It’s not about being polished or perfect. It’s about being real, honest, and relentlessly people-first.

Dina dives into three core pillars of transformational leadership—transparency, integrity, and putting people first—sharing candid stories from her own experience and coaching sessions with women leaders navigating storms in their workplaces.

From confronting team burnout and donor chaos to resisting the urge to “keep it all together,” this episode offers both soul and strategy for the kind of leadership that doesn’t crumble in the chaos—it rises.

You will walk away with:

• Practical tools to lead transparently without adding to the overwhelm

• A reframing of integrity as consistency and accountability, not just moral high ground

• A people-first lens that centers empathy without sacrificing outcomes

If you’ve ever wondered how to lead when you don’t have all the answers—or questioned whether your values can survive the storm—this episode is your blueprint.
