How do you lead others through uncertainty?
Here's what I've observed working with leaders across industries: Uncertainty doesn't just create challengesâit creates fear. And fear paralyzes teams faster than anything else.
The greatest leadership opportunity during change isn't providing all the answersâbecause let's be honest, you don't have them all! It's creating clarity within chaos. This is where understanding your natural talents becomes such a powerful advantage. When you lead from your authentic strengths rather than trying to become someone you're not, you create a steadiness that others can feel and follow.

The impact of change fatigue
Let's discuss something that affects every single leader I work with: change fatigue. Change fatigue is real. And it's costly.
The research shows leaders experiencing constant change report 65% higher burnout rates and 40% decreased effectiveness in their decision-making. But here's the insight that transformed my own approach to change: The problem isn't necessarily the change itself, it's that we're approaching it through time management instead of energy management. Think about it.
Most of us try to schedule our way through change. We create detailed timelines, we block calendar time, we manage our minutesâbut we completely ignore our energy. And energy is the true currency of change. This is where understanding your natural talents becomes so powerful. I've found that when you work through your natural pattern of talentsâthe things that energize rather than drain youâyou actually create energy during change instead of just consuming it.

Is your team resistant to change?
"I know this change is necessary, but my team just won't get on board."
Does that sound familiar?
Here's what I have noticed: the challenge usually isn't the change itself. It's the disconnection that happens during transition. When your team members resist, they're rarely being stubborn. Instead, they're expressing unmet needs for safety, clarity, or purpose. They just might not have the words to say it directly.
One of the most powerful tools I use with my clients is understanding each person's unique pattern of natural talents. When we know how people are naturally wired to think, feel, and behave, we gain incredible insight into how they process change.

The Hidden Cost of Resisting Change
Have you noticed how resistance to change isn't just a mindset issue, it's an energy drain? Many leaders I work with discover they're spending up to 40% of their mental and emotional resources fighting changes they ultimately can't control.
This resistance creates anxiety, decreases productivity, and prevents innovation precisely when you need it most.
Instead of resisting, what if you used your natural strengths as anchors during change?

Do you feel like youâre running on empty?
Today, let's talk about physical energy: the fuel that powers everything we do as leaders. Youâre not alone. Despite apps and devices that promise to make us more productive, many of us end up running on empty.
Gallup defines physical wellbeing simply as having good health and enough energy to get things done each day. Their research shows that physical wellbeing directly affects our emotions. When we feel physically good, we're less likely to feel down or anxious, and we bounce back faster from challenges.

And I donât mean just having money, but feeling good about how you handle it. With prices still going up and jobs changing so much in 2025, many of us feel pressured to make money choices based on what others think we should do.
Gallup says financial wellbeing isn't about being rich; it's about managing what you have in a way that works for you. Their research shows that when you feel secure about money, you're less stressed, less anxious, and generally happier.

Do you like what you do each day?
Let's talk about purpose â that feeling that what you do really matters. With AI doing more and more of our work, I keep hearing leaders ask, "What's my purpose when a computer can do my job?"
But purpose starts with a simple question: Do you like what you do each day? If you can say yes to that, you're twice as likely to be thriving overall.
