Crisis doesn’t reveal your plan — it reveals your posture.

Nobody hands you a syllabus for crisis leadership.

It just shows up, taps you on the shoulder and says "you're up." In this first episode of our Resilient Leadership series, we're diving into what actually happens when everything shifts and your team is looking at you, not the plan.

I share my experience on an Air Force crisis response team and why the person with the biggest title isn't always who you want leading when chaos hits. Plus, what my new client discovered when they realized they had zero idea who on their team could actually handle pressure.

Ready to stop managing your lens and start mastering it?

Your team isn't reading your crisis plan. They're reading your nervous system.

In crisis, people don't follow procedures - they follow your breathing pattern, your shoulder tension, that micro-pause before you speak. You don't need all the answers. You need to be the person who refuses to panic first. That's it. That's the whole game. Your calm becomes a resource your team borrows to survive.

Look at your team right now. If crisis hit tomorrow, who would you tap for communication? Who would study the room? Would it be you? If you don't know, that's your first step. Start observing who stays steady when small stressors hit. Those are your crisis leaders, regardless of their titles

If this spoke to you, I’d love for you to:
