What if the difference between reacting and leading comes down to one skill most people never intentionally train?

In this episode of Quest for Success, Dr. Jerry Cunningham breaks down situational awareness and situational leadership in a way that will immediately change how you show up at work, at home, at church, and even in high-pressure moments you didn't see coming. You'll discover why smart people still misread situations, how your brain filters information (and sometimes filters out the wrong things), and how adaptable leaders consistently outperform rigid ones.

You'll walk away with practical questions you can start asking today, questions that sharpen your awareness, improve your decision-making, and help you lead the moment you're actually in instead of the one you wish you had.

If you want stronger relationships, clearer thinking under pressure, and leadership that holds steady when plans fall apart, this episode is for you.
