When uncertainty becomes the only certainty, how do great leaders make smart decisions, grow their companies, and stay resilient—even without a clear playbook?

In this deep-dive conversation with economist and leadership strategist Dr. Rebecca Homkes, you’ll learn why uncertainty is not something to survive—it’s something to lead through. Drawing from her global research with McKinsey, London Business School, and CEOs across industries, Rebecca shares an actionable approach to leadership in today’s rapidly shifting environment of tariffs, taxes, tech, and tension.

  1. You’ll discover the three most common (and costly) leadership traps in uncertain times: delusion, paralysis, and frenzy—and how to avoid them.
  2. You’ll learn why focusing on beliefs over predictions builds strategic agility, and how “no-regret moves” can future-proof your decisions.
  3. You’ll gain a step-by-step guide to building internal predictability, leading with questions, and helping your team stay aligned, adaptive, and resilient—no matter what the headlines say.
