In today’s episode, Bob ‘n Joyce pick up where they left off in episode 185, diving deeper into how leaders can navigate turbulent and unsettling times with intention and heart. The key? Leaders must first ground themselves before engaging in conversations about what the business needs to move forward.

But how do you get grounded? Where do you start, and with whom? And how can leaders truly support their teams—not just to survive, but to thrive?

Here are a few hints to guide the discussion:
• Start by scanning the environment before jumping into action.
• Never underestimate the power of a meaningful conversation.
• Speak the truth—sugarcoating doesn’t soothe, truth does.
• Counter exhaustion by encouraging play and nurturing the system.

Like episode 185, there are no neat bows here—just real, practical ideas to chew on.

So come on in. Grab a soothing snack or beverage. Welcome!
