When everything around you feels unstable — shrinking budgets, shifting priorities, constant change — do you find yourself feeling defeated, or do you rise stronger from the challenge?

As a humanitarian or development leader, you’re constantly navigating uncertainty. But while most conversations about resilience focus on the communities you serve, this episode turns the spotlight on you — the leader behind it all. You’ll learn why some leaders thrive under pressure while others burn out, and how a simple but powerful mindset shift can help you stay grounded, confident, and effective, no matter what’s happening around you.
