Stop Reacting, Start Responding

Under pressure, even strong leaders can default to habit instead of intention. In this episode, Dr. Leonie H. Mattison explores the internal movement that happens before every decision, email, or response. You’ll learn how reactive leadership forms under urgency, why speed often replaces wisdom, and how a simple five-second pause can shift you from reflex to intentional response. If you lead people, systems, or communities and want to move through pressure without losing yourself, this conversation is for you.
