Refined Not Defined: Leading Through Crisis with Courage

This episode explores how leaders can turn crisis into a refining moment rather than a defining failure by focusing on three stages: prevention before the crisis, presence during the crisis, and recovery after the crisis.

Maureen shares practical steps—self-leadership habits, scenario planning, clear communication cadence, and debrief rituals—plus the value of coaching or outside advisors. You’ll get concrete actions to build early-warning systems, stay composed under pressure, and rebuild trust afterward, plus a weekly challenge to address one avoided detail before it becomes a crisis.
