DECIDE: How Leaders Stop Self-Sabotage Under Pressure | Ep. 164

XPAND CAPACITY™

DECIDE: How Leaders Stop Self-Sabotage Under Pressure Most leaders don’t fail because they lack intelligence, discipline, or strategy. They fail because they’re making high-stakes decisions from a dysregulated nervous system.

I was chasing the next event, the next tactic, the next breakthrough—while my nervous system was quietly collapsing under the weight of it all.
