Ever walk into a high-stakes meeting thinking you're ready, only to realize too late that you missed the moment? That was me, on a packed airport train, suddenly thrown into a deal conversation I had no business leading.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what situational awareness really looks like, why most people miss it, and how to stay grounded and clear-headed when the pressure is high. You’ll learn the CLAW framework I teach in workshops, how to apply it in real conversations, and the one move that will help you avoid making reactive decisions you regret later.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

1. The common mistakes people make in high-stakes moments
2. A simple four-part framework for staying focused and prepared
3. What it sounds like to walk away clearly and confidently
