“The stress of uncertainty is often worse than making the tough call and moving forward.”

In this episode of Business is Human, Rebecca Fleetwood Hession shares the story of a coaching client whose promotion quickly turned into an intricate web of team challenges, tough decisions, and personal stress, transforming what should have been a celebration into a tangled mess.

Drawing from real coaching conversations and grounded in neuroscience and faith, Rebecca outlines how leaders can face uncertainty with clarity and compassion instead of fear and guilt. She offers practical and soulful guidance for any leader in a high-stakes situation. Because when the pressure builds, your nervous system feels it, and so do the people around you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
