About this episode: A conversation shaped around leading your thoughts. Most leaders don’t make it to roles of influence without a moderate level of confidence and the ability to think rationally. But even the most successful, self-assured leaders may occasionally get stuck in patterns of negative thinking. Particularly in the face of pressure from market conditions, competitive threats, or complex change, even the most sophisticated executive can succumb to the realities of basic brain functioning. Under negative stress, our executive functioning and reasoning capabilities can be overpowered and dominated by our more primal emotional reactivity. In episode #24 of the Women Who Lead by Faith podcast, Shaniequa has a true round table, she peels back the onion about how our interpretations are guided by our core beliefs, our fundamental understandings of ourselves and the world around us. We’re not always even aware of these core beliefs, but we interpret situations through the lens of them. They come through in our thinking, particularly our automatic thoughts, or that quick, evaluative thinking that goes through our head. Under stress, any maladaptive core beliefs might rear their ugly heads, and our thinking might not always be filtered by reasoning. Shaniequa angles from several views to bring clarity and insight in an area she is so passionate about leading with integrity and God at the forefront.
